Functional Risk Assessments

The VERA risk assessment feature is optionally available on functional requirements. The functional risk assessment feature works exactly the same as the risk scenario feature. The only exception is that the risk assessment is optional, and a functional requirement can be routed for approval without having a completed risk assessment.

Partial risk assessments are not accepted on functional requirements. The risk assessment must either be empty or complete to route a functional requirement for approval.

Figure: The Functional requirement provides the same risk fields as the Risk Scenario requirement type, however, the risk assessment is optional for a Functional requirement, and the requirement can be routed for approval without the risk assessment.
