SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The risk register centralizes risk information, providing a single source of truth for identification, ownership, scoring, and history across subject areas.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ingest risks from upstream sources (risk-matrix, fmea, monte-carlo-simulation, pre-mortem) and store them with stable IDs.
  • Export the register in Markdown and CSV for reporting, auditing, and governance reviews.
  • Generate diagrams and reports to support risk discussions, mitigations, and decision making in ongoing projects.

Quick Start

Create a new risk entry with a unique ID, assign an owner, set likelihood/impact scores, and define a review cadence.

Frequently Asked Questions about risk-register

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a risk register with persistent IDs and computed residual scores?

To create a risk register, assign a stable ID to each risk, define owners, and set likelihood and impact scores. The register computes residual risk scores by evaluating inherent risk against defined controls, maintaining history and review cadence.

Can I ingest risks from a monte-carlo-simulation or pre-mortem analysis into a central register?

Yes, you can ingest risks from upstream sources including monte-carlo-simulation, pre-mortem, risk-matrix, and fmea. The register centralizes these inputs with stable IDs, capturing categories, owners, and computed residual scores for governance.

How do I export a risk register for auditing and governance reviews?

You can export the risk register in Markdown and CSV formats. These outputs support reporting, auditing, and governance reviews by providing a centralized source of truth for risk identification, scoring, and history.

What is the best way to maintain risk history and review cadence for compliance?

Maintain risk history by defining clear statuses and review cadences for each risk entry. The register tracks historical changes, ownership, and residual scores, ensuring continuous compliance and governance monitoring across subject areas.

Does a risk register support generating diagrams for risk mitigation discussions?

Yes, the register produces diagram outputs to support risk discussions and decision making. These visualizations complement the Markdown and CSV exports, helping teams analyze mitigations and ongoing project governance.

What categories and controls do I need to define for a canonical risk matrix?

You need to define risk categories, assign owners, and specify controls to compute residual risk. The canonical register captures IDs, statements, likelihood, impact, and inherent risk scores, applying controls to calculate residual values.
