Claim One:
1. A change convergence risk mapping system, comprising: a processor; a memory; a risk aggregation module stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured for: receiving information associated with a plurality of events, wherein each of the plurality of events comprises a deployment of new software, a software upgrade, or a hardware upgrade, wherein the information associated with each event includes event timing information, a secondary convergence factor, and event risk information, wherein the event risk information associated with each of the plurality of events comprises a plurality of risk factors, the plurality of risk factors comprising technological complexity, wherein the secondary convergence factor comprises a physical location or a logical location; determining an event risk score for each of the plurality of events; aggregating the event risk scores of the plurality of events and determining a first aggregated risk score associated with a first time period, wherein determining the first aggregated risk score associated with the first time period is based on the event risk score of events (i) associated with the first time period and (ii) having a common secondary convergence factor, the common secondary convergence factor being a common physical location or a common logical location; determining (i) if the first aggregated risk score exceeds a first predefined aggregated risk score threshold or (ii) if a first predefined number of events associated with the first time period and having the common secondary convergence factor have an event risk score exceeding a first predefined event risk score threshold; determining that a first risk level is associated with the first time period if (i) the first aggregated risk score exceeds the first predefined aggregated risk score threshold or (ii) the first predefined number of events associated with the first time period and having the common secondary convergence factor have an event risk score exceeding the first predefined event risk score threshold; graphically presenting a first indicator to a user computing system if the first risk level is associated with the first time period; determining that a total risk level associated with the first time period is at least equal to a predefined risk level; identifying a risk mitigation event from the plurality of events and occurring in the first time period where the risk mitigation event has an associated event risk score that would cause the first time period to have a different total risk level that is lower than the predefined risk level if the risk mitigation event was not scheduled to occur in the first time period; determining a risk mitigation time period such the risk mitigation time period would not have the predefined risk level if the risk mitigation event occurred during the risk mitigation time period; transmitting electronically to the user computing system a recommendation that the risk mitigation event occur during the risk mitigation time period; receiving from the user computing system a decision to move the risk mitigation event to the risk mitigation period; and modifying event timing information associated with the risk mitigation event to indicate that the risk mitigation event will occur during the risk mitigation time period.
