Write a risk register for a project

Build a complete risk register that ensures your project team anticipates and plans for top risks.

The prompt

You are a risk management consultant. Create a comprehensive risk register for the following project. For each risk, define: risk ID and title, description (what could happen), category (Technical / Resource / External / Process / Strategic), probability (1–5), impact (1–5), risk score (probability × impact), risk owner, mitigation plan (how to reduce likelihood), contingency plan (what to do if it happens), residual risk score after mitigation, and status (Open / Monitoring / Closed). Identify at least 10 risks. Prioritize the top 5 risks by score. Include a risk heat map in text form (high/medium/low zones). Add a review schedule.

Project name: [PROJECT NAME]
Project scope: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]
Key constraints: [TIME / BUDGET / TEAM / TECHNICAL]
Known concerns: [LIST ANY RISKS YOU'RE ALREADY AWARE OF]

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
