Why each option
The risk register is the central repository for all identified risks, their proposed responses, owners, and current status throughout the project. It is continuously updated as the project progresses.
The risk management plan describes the methodology, roles, and processes for managing risks but does not record individual risk events or track their response status.
The stakeholder management strategy focuses on approaches for engaging and communicating with stakeholders, not on documenting or tracking identified project risks.
The risk register documents every identified risk event, its probability and impact assessment, proposed risk responses, risk owners, and current status. It serves as the living project document that tracks each risk from identification through closure. It is updated iteratively as risk responses are planned and implemented, making it the definitive source of record for all risk-related information.
Lessons learned documentation captures knowledge and insights at project or phase completion, not the real-time tracking of risk events and their proposed responses.
Concept tested: Risk register as the risk documentation repository
