Following on from my previous post on things to look at when reviewing a Change, it is important to investigate risk to ensure that stakeholders are aware and that appropriate activities are taken to mitigate impact and probability as appropriate.

I have used the attached file as a starting point in previous engagements to assign risk levels to Changes.
