This risk register template is free to use and makes completing, editing and sharing risk registers easy and reliable.

Risk registers outline the risks associated with a particular project before and during the life of a project - and list the accompanying details of those risks. A risk register forms part of the initial risk assessment of a project, which forms the overall proposal, brief or business case.

The risk register (very importantly) details the likelihood and impact of the risk if they do occur - and enables teams, companies and project managers to proactively plan for mitigating those risks through preventative measures and planning - as well as documenting the costs, accountable parties and responsibilities associated with these measures.

This complete risk register template comes pre-built with all the fields you need to properly build and manage a risk register:

• Description of risk
• Impact (of risk) on project
• Assessment of likelihood
• Assessment of seriousness
• Resulting grade of risk (likelihood and seriousness combined) & change in grade since last review
• Date of last review
• Mitigation actions and person responsible
• Cost of mitigation actions and date & timeline for completion
