Lesson 3: Linking a risk with a risk action
After you define a risk and create a risk action, you can link them so that later in the project life cycle you can identify which risk actions were done to resolve which risks.
About this task
Tip: You can link risks in the web or Eclipse clients. For
information about linking risk with the risk actions in the Eclipse
client, see steps 4,5, and 6 of Creating risk actions topic.
