Is the Risk Potential Assessment (RPA) score the only factor that should be considered when deciding on the risk level of a project?
No. The Risk Potential Assessment (RPA) score serves as a very good indicator of the risk associated with the project. However, the project’s Senior Responsible Owner will wish to consider whether there are any other additional risk factors relevant to the project that need to be taken into account. An agreed risk level (low, medium or high) will be determined by your Centre of Excellence/Departmental Gateway Coordinator in conjunction with the Gateway Operations team.
