About this technology

Overview

The Calysto: Risk Management software application is used by organizations and programs across the NASA Agency. The application was written as a SharePoint Add-in in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and CAML. It is written in a way where it can be deployed to a SharePoint on-premises environment or SharePoint Online. The application can be easily updated without user impact by using the SharePoint App Store. Calysto is available to any SharePoint site with the KSC Institutional SharePoint farm. The application is developed on top of Microsoft SharePoint as a SharePoint add-in that uses a SQL database to store content. It allows users to input risk data to their project or organization and ranks the risks by highest product of likelihood times highest consequence, as defined by Likelihood and Consequence criteria. Risks can be configured to require approval for them to be visible to general users, and to roll up to a parent organization. Other features include: keep the history of a risk; automatic or manual trending to track the progress of a risk; export of risk data to Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel; tracking of risk mitigation tasks; automatic risk ID calculation based on where in the organizational hierarchy the risk resides, with the ability to manually override it; multiple views and reports of the risk data.
