Heat Map (likelihood × impact)

Vertical axis = likelihood, from 5 almost certain to 1 very unlikely · horizontal axis = impact, from 1 minor to 5 severe

Results are calculations for learning purposes. The figures entered are hypothetical examples, not real project data.

Likelihood 1 Very unlikely · 2 Unlikely · 3 Possible · 4 Likely · 5 Almost certain
Impact 1 Minor · 2 Low · 3 Moderate · 4 High · 5 Severe
Score = likelihood × impact. Levels: ≤ 6 Low · 8–10 Medium · 12–15 High · 16–20 Very high · 25 Critical
