Simplified revision

In order to simplify the creation of plans, maintaining the consistency of information between plans and processes, projects or scorecards, from this version, it is possible to use the simplified revision. The simplified revision was made available in the plan type and by using this revision method, the plan does not go through the approval and approval steps. The user has access to edit and release the revision with just one click, simplifying the editing and maintaining the consistency and history of the data. The biggest impact of this feature is that with this, the system will no longer have the option of "without revision", which will be replaced automatically by the simplified revision.

Control analysis with different evaluation methods

The controls have very different characteristics and their effectiveness evaluation can change depending on the context where the control is executed. To meet the various self-assessment characteristics of the control, the system allows the evaluation method to be customized by control analysis, except that all controls in the same plan have the same evaluation criteria.

Creating and copying plans for other types

When copying a risk plan, the system only allowed this operation as long as it did not change the plan type, so it was not possible to copy a risk plan into another type. This feature was designed to allow changing the plan type by copying an existing risk and control plan.
