Risk Register
A document that records identified risks, their analysis, and planned responses.
The risk register is the primary artifact for capturing individual project risks, populated when risks are identified and serving as the repository for all risk information across the project. It records each risk’s description, category, root cause, probability and impact ratings, owner, planned response strategy, and any residual or secondary risks. Because it is updated through qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, response planning, and monitoring, it is a living document. A common exam trap is confusing it with the risk report, which summarizes overall project risk exposure rather than listing individual risks. New risks found during execution are added immediately.
