Parallel Review and Feedback in Advanced Risk

The Parallel Review and Feedback workflow enables second-level and third-level line managers to review records and provide feedback at any stage, facilitating collaboration across management lines and ensuring feedback is tracked through closure.

Overview of Parallel Review and Feedback

The Parallel Review and Feedback feature in the Advanced Risk application enables collaboration and engagement across different lines of management within an organization. The workflow enables the second-level and third-level line managers, such as Operational, IT, and Business Risk Managers, to provide feedback on records or fields in the records. For example, a risk manager can provide feedback by requesting a root cause analysis at the field level of the risk event. Alternatively, they may request the risk event owner to provide details of additional loss entries at the record level for the same risk event. Risk managers can create feedback on records available on the ServiceNow table and external records.
