11 - PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT

11.6.3.4 Project documents updates

Project documents that may be updated as a result of the Control Risk process include, but are not limited to the
risk register. Risk register updates may include:

• outcomes of risk reassessments, risk audits, and periodic risk reviews. These outcomes may
include identification of new risks, updates to probability, impact, priority, response plans, ownership, and
other elements of the risk register. Outcomes can also include closing risks that are no longer applicable
and releasing their associated reserves.

• Actual outcomes of the project’s risks and of the risk responses. This information can help project
managers to plan for risk throughout their organizations, as well as on future projects.

11.6.3.5 organizational Process Assets updates

The risk management processes produce information that may be used for future projects, and should be
captured in the organizational process assets. The organizational process assets that may be updated include, but
are not limited to:
• Templates for the risk management plan, including the probability and impact matrix and risk register,

• Risk breakdown structure, and
• Lessons learned from the project risk management activities.

These documents should be updated as needed and at project closure. Final versions of the risk register and the
risk management plan templates, checklists, and risk breakdown structure are included.
