Risk Analysis
Risk Analysis helps keep track of skill and knowledge-related risks that may affect your current or upcoming projects.
By analyzing your team’s skill sets against any given set of tasks: projects, sprints, or quarterly plans, Risk Analysis will reveal skill gaps and experts with unique knowledge, allowing you to mitigate early with measures like training, knowledge transfer, documentation or hiring.

Risk Analysis helps reveal critical experts on a project on demand, helping you take preemptive measures:
