What's included
Eight risks with probability, impact, cost impact, owner, status and mitigation, drawn on the heat map the Risk Register view provides. Each risk links to the plan tasks it threatens, and the mitigation actions are real tasks with owners and dates on the timeline. The dashboard shows open risks by severity next to what is overdue, so a risk review starts from the picture rather than the spreadsheet.

5 links, so a slip shows up where it lands
The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
