What is Nextedy RISKSHEET?
Nextedy RISKSHEET is a risk management extension for Siemens Polarion ALM that provides spreadsheet-like interfaces for FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) workflows. It enables teams to manage risk items, traceability, and mitigation tasks directly within Polarion using familiar tabular layouts. Learn more in What is RISKSHEET?.Is RISKSHEET a separate application from Polarion?
No, Nextedy RISKSHEET is a Polarion extension that runs entirely within your existing Polarion environment. All data is stored in native Polarion work items and documents, ensuring full integration with your existing ALM workflows. See Architecture for details on how RISKSHEET integrates with Polarion.Do I need special training to use RISKSHEET?
If you’re familiar with spreadsheet tools like Excel and have basic Polarion knowledge, you can start using RISKSHEET immediately. Our Quick Start Guide covers the essentials, and Understanding the Interface explains the UI components. Most users become productive within a day.Can RISKSHEET work with existing Polarion projects?
Yes, RISKSHEET can be added to existing Polarion projects without disrupting current work items or documents. You configure RISKSHEET to work with your existing work item types, custom fields, and workflows. See Add RISKSHEET to Existing Project for step-by-step instructions.What happens to my data if I stop using RISKSHEET?
All RISKSHEET data is stored as standard Polarion work items and documents. If you stop using RISKSHEET, your data remains fully accessible through Polarion’s native interfaces. RISKSHEET is a visualization and editing layer, not a separate data store. Learn about the underlying Data Model and Work Items.How does RISKSHEET handle user permissions?
RISKSHEET respects all Polarion user roles and permissions. Users can only view and edit work items they have permission to access in Polarion. Administrators can further restrict configuration access using thenextedy.risksheet.disable_admin_check property. See User Roles and Permissions and Configure Permissions.
Can I customize RISKSHEET for different risk methodologies?
Yes, RISKSHEET is highly configurable to support FMEA, HARA, STRIDE, and custom risk frameworks. You can define custom risk matrices, severity/occurrence scales, and workflow actions. See Configure FMEA Workflows, Configure HARA Workflows, and Implement STRIDE Analysis.How do I get support for RISKSHEET?
