Risk Management Planning

Basic idea

Produces the Risk Management Plan (RMP): a document spelling out methodology, roles, budget, schedule, risk categories, probability/impact rules, tracking process, documentation, and contingency / fall-back plans.

Key facts

  • RMP detail scales with project size — small project, light plan.

  • Sections: methodology, roles, budget, categories, probability/impact, tracking, documentation, contingency, fall-back.

  • Reviewed and updated through the project lifecycle.

  • The output of risk management planning is a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that documents the procedures for managing risks throughout a project.

  • The project team should review the RMP and understand and implement the organisation's and sponsor's approaches to risk management.

  • The level of detail will vary with the needs of the project
