Likewise, in the Chubby Gourmet’s System project, after identifying potential risks, it is crucial to evaluate their probability and impact to determine their priority for implementing risk mitigation strategies.

Using a probability-impact matrix, the risks were categorized into five levels: Extreme, High, Medium, Low, and Negligible. The probability of risks occurring and their impact on the project are described as follows:

• Extreme: Risks with a very high probability of occurrence and severe impact on the project.
• High: Risks with a high probability of occurrence and significant impact on the project. These risks require immediate attention, and mitigation strategies should be developed.
• Medium: Risks with a moderate probability of occurrence and moderate impact on the project. These risks should be closely monitored, and mitigation strategies need to be prepared if they occur.
• Low: Risks with a low probability of occurrence and minor impact on the project. These risks can be periodically monitored, and mitigation strategies can be developed if needed.
• Negligible: Risks with a very low probability of occurrence and negligible impact on the project. These risks can be disregarded.

The identified risks and their prioritization based on probability and impact are as follows:

Probability Impact	Rare (1)	Unlikely (2)	Possible (3)	Likely (4)	Almost Certain (5)
Insignificant (1)	N	N	N	N	L
Minor (2)	N	N	L	L	M
Significant (3)	N	L	L	M	H
Disastrous (4)	N	L	M	H	E
Catastrophic (5)	L	M	H	E	E

By integrating the risk assessment matrix into the risk management plan of the Chubby Gourmet's System project, we will establish a systematic approach to identifying, prioritizing, and addressing risks.
