Introduction to Risk Management Documents

For an overview of project Risk Management the Project Risk Process Guide [197KB PDF] provides a detailed introduction.

For the Ministry of Defence (MOD) preferred Risk Management Terminology, there is now a Risk Management Lexicon [224KB PDF].

If you are tasked with developing and implementing good Risk Management practice you should visit The Four Stage Risk Management Process which itemises Key Activities and Outputs for each stage of the process.

Items under this topic include guidance on the format and content of a Risk and Opportunity Management Strategy, Risk and Opportunity Management Plan and format of a Risk Register, all of which are critical to the implementation of effective risk management.

If you are interested in the relationship with strategic or Corporate Risk Management please view the content on this before proceeding.
