Explanation
The Risk Register is the central document used to record all identified risks, their characteristics, analysis results (probability, impact), and planned risk responses - including mitigation strategies. It is a living document updated throughout the project as risks are identified, analyzed, and responded to. The Risk Management Plan describes the methodology and approach for how risks will be managed (processes, roles, timing), not the specific risks or responses. The Project Management Plan is a higher-level document; specific risk details belong in the Risk Register.
