Risk Management Plan Template
A risk management plan contains information on how a project team identifies, analyzes, plans, and monitors/controls potential negative impacts to the project (aka risks).
One point to make – I focus entirely on potential negative impacts (risks) and not on potential positive impacts (opportunities). Many formal project management guidelines (such as the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK) call for opportunity identification/analysis in addition to risk identification/analysis. It’s been my experience that most projects don’t have time for this, and subsequently I have not included it in my template. You can easily fix that if you want.

Would love to use your Risk Management Plan with some costmetic changes and some University Specific changes and use this for all projects. I want to give you full credit would you want that displayed on the cover or later on in the Plan?
Thanks
