Hello Im aware that spiraplan/team can document product risks and theres an FMEA app for FMEA style risks. We would typically use the FMEA as a tool to evaluate the device design (Design FMEA, Software FMEA, etc) and that would tell us how the device itself would fail (i.e. stop functioning, function at 50%, loss of certain features, etc). These hazardous situations which arise due to various component failure modes, are then fed into a linked hazard analysis to evaluate the harm that each haz. situation can lead to. As far as I can see, spiraplan can only document risks as the product level (FMEA). Is there a way to set things up so that the risk output can be linked to a second risk evaluation (maybe in a different product that is purely a risk assessment), or perhaps the output can be fed into a project level risk evaluation?

The FMEA app is set up for multiple products to perform independent assessment. But you can set up a cross-project association and connect the secondary risk in a different project with the main risks in the repository. Please check the KB article that can help you with this.

This allows layered evaluation across design and harm impact. Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:07:59 -04002025-10-08T11:52:49-04:00/Support/Forum/spiraplan/issues-questions/2938.aspx#reply7407
