Project Risk Register Overview

The document discusses maintaining a risk register to track project risks and mitigation strategies. It describes the criteria for the risk register, where it is maintained, and how risks are tracked in the project schedule. The risk register was created during an initial risk management meeting and contains identified risks, their probability and impact, categories, mitigation strategies, and timeframes. Risks from the register have been added to the project plan and will be monitored by assigned risk managers during bi-weekly meetings. The risk register will be maintained as an appendix to the risk management plan.

Risk Register
Every project must maintain a risk register in order to track risks and associated mitigation
strategies. This section describes the risk register criteria as well as where the risk register is
maintained and how these risks are tracked in the project schedule.

The Risk Register for this project is a log of all identified risks, their probability and impact to
the project, the category they belong to, mitigation strategy, and when the risk will occur. The
register was created through the initial project risk management meeting led by the project
manager. During this meeting, the project team identified and categorized each risk.
Additionally, the team assigned each risk a score based on the probability of it occurring and the
impact it could potentially have. The Risk Register also contains the mitigation strategy for each
risk as well as when the risk is likely to occur.

Based on the identified risks and timeframes in the risk register, each risk has been added to the
project plan. At the appropriate time in the plan—prior to when the risk is most likely to occur—
the project manager will assign a risk manager to ensure adherence to the agreed upon mitigation
strategy. The each risk manager will provide the status of their assigned risk at the bi-weekly
project team meeting for their risk’s planned timeframe.

The Risk Register will be maintained as an appendix to this Risk Management Plan.
