Short answer

What should project risk management software include?

Useful project risk management software should support a consistent path from identification to monitoring. Meridian records risk category, probability, impact, an automatically calculated score, response strategy, controls, mitigation, triggers, residual risk, owner, review dates, and status. This makes it suitable for teams that need a working risk register rather than a simple list of concerns.

Included capabilities

A structured risk workflow from entry to closure.

Capture enough context to prioritise risks and keep the planned response visible.

01

Risk identification

Record a title, description, category, identification date, and the person who identified the risk.

02

Consistent assessment

Score probability and impact from 1 to 5 and calculate the combined risk score automatically.

03

Response strategy

Choose a response strategy and document current controls, mitigation actions, and residual risk.

04

Ownership and dates

Assign a risk owner and record target review and treatment implementation dates.

05

Early warning signs

Record triggers that indicate when a risk may be materialising.

06

Monitoring view

Filter and sort the register while keeping open, in-progress, monitoring, accepted, and closed states distinct.

How it works

Manage a project risk in three steps.

1

Identify and assess

Describe the risk, choose its category, and score probability and impact.

2

Plan the response

Select a strategy, assign an owner, and record controls, mitigation, and warning signs.

3

Monitor the outcome

Review status, target dates, residual risk, and closure evidence as conditions change.

Common questions

Clear answers before you start.

How does Meridian calculate a risk score?

Meridian multiplies the selected probability score by the selected impact score. Both use a 1 to 5 scale, producing a score from 1 to 25.

Can Meridian track risk mitigation and ownership?

Yes. A risk can include a response strategy, current controls, mitigation plan, owner, triggers, residual risk, and review dates.

Can project risks be filtered?

Yes. The risk register supports search and filters for category, status, and owner, with an option to hide closed and accepted risks.

Is project risk management included on Starter?

Yes. Starter is free forever for one project with unlimited users. Professional and higher plans add project capacity.
