RISK PROBABILITY AND IMPACT MATRIX
As PMI explained in the book "A Guide to the Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) Sixth Ed

A probability and impact matrix is a grid for mapping the probability of each risk occurrence and its impact on p
of probability and impact that allow individual project risks to be divided into priority groups. Risks can be priori
probability and impacts. The probability of occurrence for each individual project risk is assessed as well as its im
definitions of probability and impact for the project as specified in the risk management plan. Individual project
assessed probability and impact, using a probability and impact matrix.

An organization can assess a risk separately for each objective (e.g., cost, time, and scope) by having a separate
ways to determine one overall priority level for each risk, either by combining assessments for different objective
affected.

The Risk probability and impact assessment is tools of the processes:
