Risk Management - Record
Risk register
A maintained list of identified risks, how serious they are, who owns them and what will be done
What's it for?
Keeps important risks visible, owned and regularly reviewed before they become real problems.
For example…
A project records the risk that only one person understands an old system and agrees to document it and train two other people before that knowledge is lost
A risk register records the chance of a supplier delay, scores its impact, names an owner and lists the mitigation and contingency plan
Think of it like…
Home insurance inventory plus a checklist: know the threats, and what you would do if they arrive
