Aziz- I have to be careful about not providing proprietary data, but here is a description of one of the reporting templates that are generated out of our risk management system:
For a 1 page view, a simple "4-square" PowerPoint template is created dividing the page into 4 quadrants, with a space for a timeline at the bottom.
Quadrant 1: Description of the risk narrative
Quadrant 2: "Risk Cube" We use a 5x5 matrix of consequence vs. probability, but I've seen a simple 3x3 for high medium low used elsewhere. I find it important to define the different levels as people tend to argue over how to rate them, although absolute placement is not that important.
Quadrant 3: Risk handling plan steps to get to green (simple numbered list of actions, performers, and dates)
Quadrant 4: Progress to plan. (Bulleted list of progress or numbers to coincide with plan steps)
Timeline at the bottom: Assuming you're going to mitigate or avoid the risk, the timeline shows how over time the risk handling plan takes the risk from the initial state (e.g. high) to your end state. It's essentially an elevation/flight plan, graphically showing the level of risk reducing over time as steps are accomplished. If you're accepting the risk, it's just one milestone of when you know if it occurs.
You can add help needed and other things to the chart, but be careful about cluttering it up too much as everyone and their brother wants to add more data to the one page view.
We also use a master risk cube that shows all the various risks together, providing an overall landscape of project risks.
