Project Risk Assessment Template

This simple project risk assessment template helps project managers describe and record project risks so that they prepare for them in advance. Within the project risk assessment template are easy-to-follow instructions based on how likely it is for the identified risk to occur and on the sufficiency of mitigation resources needed to combat the risk. Project managers can use this project risk assessment to do the following: 1) Identify expected and potential risks, 2) Determine the impact of these risks on project deliverables, 3) Create a mitigation plan outlining the steps, resources, and people involved, 4) Form general contingency plans using the example provided, and 5) Decide how employees will participate in risk monitoring.
