  2. Write it all down in a risk register. The risk register is a concise list of project risks in which you have not only identified the risks, but also categorized them, identified who is responsible for them, and what plan you have to either reduce (threats) or exploit (opportunities) them.<\/li>\n
  3. If you work with with an outside vendor, ask if they provide a full risk management plan for your project. Experienced consultants will work with you early in the process to identify risks and opportunities throughout your project lifecycle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
