Risk templates allow you to quickly add risks to your project and assign chance of occurrence and outcomes. Risk templates are different from the Risk Register: they contain information about risk assignment. Risk templates are useful when you want to:
    •  Move risk assignments between different projects
    •  Perform risk assignment as you did in a previous project
    •  Manage different sets of risk assignments for different types of projects

Using risk templates for local risk assignments
