Every project carries risk; the difference between teams is whether they track it. This free Risk Register gives you one place to log each risk, rate its probability and impact, see a priority score, assign an owner and record the mitigation plan — turning vague worries into managed actions.

How to use it: capture risks as they're identified, rate probability and impact to get a priority, and assign each one an owner and a response. Review the register at regular intervals, updating status as risks are mitigated, realised or closed.

Key features

  • Log risks with probability and impact
  • Priority scoring columns
  • Risk owner and mitigation actions
  • Status tracking through the project
  • Works in Excel and Google Sheets
