Explanation
Documenting roles and responsibilities is the most critical foundation for risk management because without clear ownership, no risk activity - identification, assessment, or response - can be reliably executed.
Common mistakes.
- A. Determining probability is a valuable analysis step but cannot be performed consistently if no one knows who is responsible for assessing each risk.
- B. Prioritizing risks by impact is important but presupposes that risks have already been identified and assigned to accountable owners who will act on the rankings.
- C. An issue log tracks active, realized problems rather than potential future risks, representing a different process domain from risk management.
- E. Establishing a review timeline is a scheduling detail that is far less critical than first defining who owns each risk management activity.
Concept tested. Risk ownership and accountability as risk management foundation
