Enter G, Y or R, as appropriate. GYR assesses whether the expectations of the deliverable will
be completed in time to meet the project need date.
Red (High Risk): R ratings are given prior to the Project Need Date to indicate a
deliverable will not meet the Project Need Date or quality expectations. R signifies the
project is at risk and needs immediate management attention. Any deliverable not
completed by its Project Need Date must be carry an R rating until the deliverable is
completed.
Yellow (Low Risk): Y ratings are given prior to the Project Need Date to indicate an
deliverable may not meet the Program Need Date or quality expectations. To be considered
Y, a recovery plan must be in place for the deliverable. Y ratings indicate the need for
project management attention. A Y rating can only be given to an deliverable prior to the
Project Need Date.
Green (No Risk): G ratings are given before the Project Need Date to indicate the
deliverable will meet the Project Need Date and will meet all quality expectations. G ratings
given on the Project Need Date indicate the deliverable is complete and meets all quality
expectations listed on the "Required Evidence" sheet and AIAG APQP Manual for that
deliverable. No risk to other deliverables is apparent.
NOTE: The supplier must have a documented Recovery Plan for any deliverable
rated "Yellow" or "Red".
Enter the last possible date the deliverable can be completed without adversely affecting
quality, cost or timing of another deliverable or the project itself.
