Risk Register Template
If you have seen the Risk Management Plan template posted at this site, you will have noticed a reference to a risk register. A risk register is a tool that allows you track identified risks – their potential impact, your planned response, owner, status, etc… If your project has a good PM tool suite in place, you may already have a tool that can handle this. If not, this template will come in handy.
The template is available in Excel or OpenOffice format. The template is documented, but if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.

Mr. Kuhn,
Can this template be used for governmental purposes? I know you say it cannot be used commercially, so I wanted to see if I could get permission to use it for a government entity.

Yes, feel free to use in any way that doesn’t involve selling the work – so use at the government is certainly ok. Thanks for you interest!

I would like to add your Risk register template to my Excel Project spreadsheet which will only be used on campus. What would you need me to show on the page giving you full credit Brad?
Thanks

Absolutely – feel free to translate it!

Hey Brad.
I’m a PM for a non-profit company and would like to use an adapted version of your template (which is awesome) – i.e. change some of the status values and possibly remove some of the columns. The Readme tab said it shouldn’t be used for commercial use and I wanted to see if you would be ok with me adapting it as long as I give credit to you as the original source.
Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request.

No problem – feel free. Glad you’re finding it useful.
