Using a risk register to integrate risk management in project definition

Risk analysis and management forms a vital part of the early stages of a project, and, in particular, the mandatory project-definition phase in defence projects. Recently, the centrality of the risk register in risk-management infra-structures was noted. The paper describes a complete, integrated risk-analysis and management scheme based around the register that assists in time, cost and technical analysis, helps in the devising of a risk-managment plan, and prompts decisions on risk transfer.
