Every business is vulnerable to some amount of risk and every project the business works on can bring its own additional set of risks. That’s why it’s necessary to have a risk management plan in place. This is a plan that will assess and identify risks and suggest actions that can be taken to mitigate risk and deal with emergency situations. To effectively create a risk management process, it is advisable to create a risk management planning template as part of the process.

There are several risk management planning templates available, and they can be modified to suit the project you are working on. When paper risk management planning templates are used, they can cause confusion if new plans are created without destroying all copies of the old plan. The best option is to keep the plan in one centralized location within a comprehensive risk management software solution.

Each page of the document contains a release and page number to help with identification as it is a managed document.

Although features of a planning template may vary, basically they serve to identify risks by listing them on the template. Then the risks are rated in terms of how likely they are to happen and how impactful they will be to the project if they occur. These can be rated as Low, Medium or High. The template then lists mitigation strategies that will dictate how a company should react in the case risk occurs.

Templates should be updated as risks may become less or more likely or impactful as the project progresses.

In some cases, a third party can be brought in to help with risk management planning or the creation of templates. In these cases, vendor management must be utilized to ensure that whoever is brought in has an overall knowledge of the company and the project at hand.

A risk management planning template can be a very useful tool for helping to keep everyone involved in your project on the same page, keep your business safe and keep your project running smoothly. Decide what features you need to include to create a template that works for the project your company is working on.
