What is a Risk Management Plan?

A risk plan helps you foresee risks, identify actions to prevent them from occurring and reduce their impact should they occur. The Risk Management Plan is created as part of the Risk Planning process. It lists all foreseeable risks, their ranking, priority, preventative and contingent actions, and a method for tracking them. This Risk Plan template will help you perform these steps quickly and easily.

When do I use a Risk Management Plan?

A Risk Plan should be used anytime risks must be carefully managed. For instance, during the start-up of a project, a Risk Plan is created to identify and manage the risk involved with the project delivery. The Risk Plan is referred to frequently throughout the project to ensure that all risks are mitigated as quickly as possible. The Risk Plan template helps you identify and manage your risks, boosting your chances of success.
