#Template

This simple Risk Register template is intended for projects or tiny enterprises. With only a few fields to fill out, getting started is quick and simple.

A risk is a project problem that hasn’t materialized yet. Although the risk could present an opportunity, it is more likely to have a detrimental effect on the project’s outcome if it materializes. One of the secrets to a successful project is effective risk management; if you spot potential problems early on, you can take action to lessen their impact or even prevent them.

A risk register is a document used as a risk management tool and to fulfill regulatory compliance acting as a repository for all risks identified and includes additional information about each risk, e.g., nature of the risk, reference and owner, mitigation measures. It can be displayed as a scatterplot or as a table.

Custom Field Instruction

Probability:

Depending on the risk’s present status, the probability (%) of that risk happening. This number need to typically be correlated with the pre-response assessment for the initial risk assessment. The number should represent the expected likelihood at the time of assessment for subsequent risk assessments when response strategies are put into action.

Detailed Description:

Detailed description of the risk, generally including a “cause”, possible “risk event”, and “effects”.

Risk Owner:

Person or people assigned to implement the response plan and monitor the risk.
