The Project Team Members is an important risk on a Risk Register, there are many other risks to add to the register, but my focus on this article is Team Members.
Project Managers need to focus up front on the availability of team members for a project. The Risk Register should include team members working on different projects, especially concurrent projects. We often assign key staff to multiple projects which is fine if their key dates and implementation have breathing room for safe multitasking.
The Risk Register will provide valuable insight into how your project team is spread out. The reprioritizing of project dates might be needed to address overallocated staff. It's good to know up front that you are working with overallocated staff so you know the potential risk that could be a showstopper.
Roll the dice or play it safe. Just make sure that management understands all the risks that are involved with overallocated staff.

Good points. I do think there are some points that are more the resource management plan than the risk management plan. Although at that point it is a risk.

People on dates shouldn't even be allowed out in public.
