Risk Register
A risk register is a living document tracking identified risks, their likelihood and impact, and the response plan for each, reviewed on a fixed cadence.
Example
A project's risk register flagging a key vendor's reliability, with a documented backup plan, reviewed at each project checkpoint.
Why it matters
Naming risk explicitly, before it materializes, is what makes it manageable rather than a surprise.
Limits and cautions
Identifying risk is not pessimism. It is a way of protecting a realistic, achievable plan by naming what could threaten it.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah can keep risk notes attached to the project record they concern, where supported.
This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
