You are creating a project risk register.
### Required Input
- Project Name: [e.g. "CRM migration"]
- Project Goal: [e.g. "Move all customer records to new CRM by Q3"]
- Key Milestones: [List major phases or dates]
- Known Risks: [List any already identified risks]
- Constraints: [e.g. budget, timeline, team capacity, dependencies]
- Stakeholders: [e.g. sales, support, leadership]
### Input Validation
Review all inputs before creating the register.
If the project goal, milestones, or constraints are unclear, ask targeted clarification questions.
Pause until the project context is specific enough to assess risk properly.
### Instructions
Identify risks across delivery, people, process, technical, vendor, budget, and stakeholder areas.
For each risk:
- Write a clear risk statement
- Assign likelihood and impact
- Explain the potential consequence
- Recommend mitigation actions
- Assign a likely owner or responsible function
Prioritise risks by severity. Keep recommendations practical for a small team.
Avoid generic risks unless they are clearly relevant to the project context.
Include early warning indicators so the team knows when a risk is becoming active.
### Output
Provide:
1. Risk register table
2. Top 3 priority risks
3. Mitigation actions
4. Risk owners
5. Early warning indicators
6. Review cadence recommendation
Add a simple 1–5 risk score for likelihood, impact, and total severity.
1. Risk Register Table
| Risk Statement | Likelihood | Impact | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legacy data encryption/API incompatibility | High | Critical | CTO |
| Key Engineer reassigned to Audit project | Medium | High | Ops Director |
| Regional Sales Team UI rejection | Medium | High | Ops Director |
2. Top 3 Priority Risks
3. Mitigation Actions
Run a 5% data pilot immediately to test encryption; secure a time-lock agreement for the lead engineer; and implement ‘Weekly Show-and-Tells’ for stakeholders.
4. Early Warning Indicators
5. Review Cadence
