This project risk assessment template helps project managers capture expected and potential risks, evaluate their impact on deliverables, and rate priority based on likelihood and mitigation resource sufficiency. It guides teams to outline mitigation steps, define symptoms and triggers, and establish general contingency plans for unidentified risks.
