Explanation

The Plan Risk Management process produces the risk management plan, which defines roles and responsibilities for the risk process-including the criteria and structure for assigning risk owners across the project. By establishing who is accountable for risk ownership at this stage, the framework is in place before risks are even identified. While individual risk owners are assigned to specific risks later during Plan Risk Responses (A), the governance model and authority for those assignments is established in Plan Risk Management. Identify Risks (D) and Monitor Risks (C) occur too late in the lifecycle to be the appropriate point to define risk owner assignment frameworks.
