Setting up your risk register

The Risk tab is separate from Delay events (see Filing a delay event) — think of Risk as "what could still happen," and Delay events as "something that did happen and needs a time extension."

Each risk you log carries a description, category, probability band (from rare to almost certain), a cost impact, a day impact, an owner, mitigation notes, and a status. Jig calculates your cost and schedule contingency using the standard AACE expected-value method, and shows it against your project's "99 · Contingency" budget line as original, calculated, drawn, and remaining.

If a risk actually happens, Jig doesn't auto-create a change order behind your back — it proposes one, pre-filled from the risk record, and waits for you to confirm it before anything changes on the budget.

This tab is office-only; field seats don't see it.
