What is the Risk Register?
Record project risks with likelihood, impact and planned responses.
List each risk with a likelihood, an impact rating, an owner and a response plan. The register lets you sort risks by severity and check that each one has an owner.
Projects go wrong when nobody can see who does what and by when. A clear chart, register or report keeps a team looking at the same picture.
