How can I use the Risks & Issues feature to improve project control in PPM?

Profit.co now offers users the ability to manage project uncertainties with the new Risks & Issues option in the Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) module.

Why this feature?

• A Risk in PPM is a potential event or uncertainty that may occur in the future and could negatively impact project objectives if not managed.
• An Issue in PPM is an event or problem that has already occurred and is currently affecting the project.

By tracking both proactively (Risks) and reactively (Issues), teams can improve project predictability, reduce disruptions, and maintain alignment with objectives.
