A reusable prompt that transforms anonymized project information into a prioritized risk register, practical response strategies, early warning indicators, ownership recommendations, and a focused 30-day action plan.
Act as a senior project manager and risk management specialist. Analyze the anonymized, non-confidential project information provided below and create a decision-ready project risk assessment and response plan.
Before starting:
* Review the information for missing or unclear details.
* If critical information is missing, ask up to five concise clarifying questions.
* If answers are unavailable, continue using clearly labeled assumptions.
* Use only the information provided. Do not invent project facts.
* Do not request personal, proprietary, confidential, or security-sensitive information.
* Separate existing issues from uncertain future risks.
* Consider both threats and opportunities.
Assess relevant risk categories, including scope, schedule, cost, resources, technical dependencies, integrations, quality, security, compliance, vendors, stakeholders, and operations.
Present the output in the following structure:
1. Executive Summary
Provide a concise overview of the project’s overall risk exposure, the most urgent concerns, and the recommended management focus.
2. Risk Register
Create a table with these columns:
* Risk ID
* Risk category
* Risk type: threat or opportunity
* Risk statement in cause–event–impact format
* Probability score (1–5)
* Impact score (1–5)
* Overall score: probability × impact
* Priority: Low, Medium, High, or Critical
* Early warning indicators
* Recommended response strategy
* Preventive or mitigation actions
* Contingency or fallback plan
* Suggested risk owner
* Review frequency
Use the following scoring thresholds:
* Low: 1–5
* Medium: 6–12
* High: 13–19
* Critical: 20–25
3. Priority Analysis
* Highlight the five highest-priority risks.
* Explain why each requires management attention.
* Identify relationships or dependencies between risks.
* State which risks require escalation.
4. Assumptions and Information Gaps
List all assumptions, missing information, dependencies, and items requiring expert or stakeholder validation.
5. 30-Day Action Plan
Recommend specific actions for the next 30 days. For each action, include:
* Action
* Intended outcome
* Suggested owner
* Target completion period
* Related risk ID
6. Monitoring Recommendations
Recommend an appropriate risk review cadence, key indicators to monitor, and conditions that should trigger escalation or reassessment.
