Working record
| Check | What to do | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Risk | Describe a specific failure, its consequence and the action that reduces it. Name the person who monitors the condition. | Risk condition, impact, mitigation and owner. |
| Probability | Choose an agreed likelihood scale and explain the evidence behind the rating. | The probability record, its source and the person responsible for resolving missing evidence. |
| Impact | Describe the consequence of the risk for cost, time, users or operation. State the basis of any estimate. | The impact record, its source and the person responsible for resolving missing evidence. |
| Response | Choose a mitigation, contingency or acceptance action and name the responsible person. | The response record, its source and the person responsible for resolving missing evidence. |
| Owner | Name the person who can approve the decision and the person who carries out the next action. A team name alone can leave the handoff unclear. | Named decision owner, action owner and review date. |
Review the decision
Capture project risks early with an owner, impact, response and review date so they do not stay hidden in meetings. Keep risk, probability, impact attached to the conclusion so the next owner can challenge the assumptions. Resolve missing evidence before treating this record as approval.
