Review and mitigate the risk register

Walk the risk register on a regular cadence, score likelihood and impact honestly, and assign a mitigation owner before a risk turns into a real problem.

How it works, step by step

3 steps across the platform - what you do at each one, and why it matters.

1

Walk the risk register

Risk register

Go through every open risk on the register, re-score its likelihood and impact against what you now know, and retire anything that has genuinely passed.

Why: A risk register nobody revisits just accumulates stale entries and hides the two or three that actually matter this month.

2

Assign the mitigation

Risk register

For every risk still live, name the mitigation action, its owner and a date, rather than leaving it as a description with nobody accountable for it.

Why: A risk with no owner and no date is a risk that sits there until it happens. Assigning both is what actually reduces the chance it does.

Report the trend

Reports

Report how the register has moved since the last review, new risks in, old ones retired or realised, so the wider team sees the trend, not just a snapshot.

Why: A single risk review tells you where you stand today. The trend across several is what tells you whether the project is getting safer or more exposed.
