Be sure to document the results of each workshop in the risk register. The initial workshop should include the entire project team. Additional workshops may include external subject matter experts, stakeholders, and customers.\nSample Agenda\nAgenda\nResponsible Team Member\nBriefly introduce the project’s goals, team, and scope.\nProject manager\nDocument all the potential risks on Post-It notes.\nEntire team\nPost all the risks on a whiteboard and remove any duplicates.\nProject manager\nPlace the high-priority risks in one category (Priority 1) on the whiteboard.\nEntire team with project manager as lead\nScore the remaining risks (Priority 2-5) and sort them accordingly.\nEntire team\nBreak into small groups in order to identify any additional risks that may impact your stakeholders.\nEntire team\nAdd new risks to the whiteboard and prioritize them.\nEntire team\nDiscuss sample mitigation plans.\nProject manager\nAssign each high-priority risk to a team member; include due dates. \u000bEach team member will develop a mitigation plan for their respective high-priority risk.\nProject manager\nAdd all the risks and mitigation plans to the risk register.\nProject manager\nShare all the high-priority risks with your stakeholders.\nProject manager\nQuestions to Ask\nBelow is a list of questions to ask during your project risk identification workshop. \u000bThese questions are useful if the team is having a difficult time identifying potential risks.\nWhat threats does the project face?\nDo you see any budget or scheduling problems?\nWhat may prevent us from completing the project on time?\nWhat could go wrong?\nWhat is the worst-case scenario?\nWhat tools will you use for this project? What will happen if you don’t have them?\nWhat Should You Do After the Workshop?\nFollowing the risk identification workshop, you should document all the risks in the risk register for tracking purposes. Document the risks using the following format:\nBecause of \u003Cthis factor>, \u003Cthis event may occur> during \u003Cthis particular time period>. Such an occurrence could lead to \u003Cimpact>, thus, \u003Chaving this profound effect on our project’s objective>.\nSee the example below:\nBecause of \u003Cthe presence of competitors with more brand recognition>, \u003Cthe customer may choose another product> during \u003Cour launch period>. Such an occurrence could lead to \u003Cweak sales>, thus, \u003Cseriously impacting our fourth-quarter revenue>.\nThe risk register template can be found \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.smartsheet.com/risk-register-templates\" \\l \"project-risk-register-template\" \u0014here\u0015.\nDISCLAIMER\nAny articles, templates, or information provided by Smartsheet on the website are for reference only.
