The risk register contains which of the following?

Question

Options

• AIdentified risks and potential responses
• BIdentified risks and updates to scope baseline
• CRisk management plan
• DRisk related contract decisions

• A
  70% (23)
• B
  15% (5)
• C
  9% (3)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

A risk register is a living document that captures identified risks along with their potential responses, owners, probability, impact, and status - making option A correct. Option B is wrong because updates to the scope baseline belong in project documents and change control processes, not the risk register. Option C is wrong because the risk management plan is a separate planning document that describes how risk management will be conducted, not a component of the register itself. Option D is wrong because risk-related contract decisions are captured in procurement documents or the risk management plan, not the register.

Memory tip: Think of the risk register as a "risk inventory list" - you log what risks exist (identified risks) and what you'll do about them (potential responses). Everything else - how to manage risks, contract terms, scope changes - lives elsewhere.
