Define risk parameters. MSF for CMMI® has defined a generic risk work item with parameters. You may choose to use this. Alternatively, define parameters for each category of risk identified in the previous step. Modify the existing risk work item type definition to include these additional parameters.
Entry Criteria

- The MSF project process definition template including work item type definitions.
