Risk/Issue Assessment Template
Format: Log / Evaluation Form / Evaluation Assessment
Every project contains some level and amount of risk. To manage and mitigate project risks, it is important to have a risk management plan as a key artifact in the project toolbox. Unlike issues, risks are not yet directly impacting the project and may be mitigated and prevented from turning into an issue. Should a risk turn into an issue, it will be more time consuming and costly to recover from than the original risk, had it been mitigated.
A risk management plan may be used when the project:
- Results in a new process, product or service
- Impacts safety, quality or customer service
- Is large, complex and costly
Benefits of a risk management plan include:
- Increase focus and attention on risks
- Proactive approach for preventing risks from becoming issues
- Provide a consistent approach for analyzing, prioritizing, communicating and managing risks
- Provide an approach to efficiently and effectively mitigate risks
- Save cost and time by identifying, prioritizing, and managing risks

"Impartial observers from other planets would consider ours an utterly bizarre enclave if it were populated by birds, defined as flying animals, that nevertheless rarely or never actually flew. They would also be perplexed if they encountered in our seas, lakes, rivers and ponds, creatures defined as swimmers that never did any swimming. But they would be even more surprised to encounter a species defined as a thinking animal if, in fact, the creature very rarely indulged in actual thinking." - Steve Allen |
