Risk Monitoring and Control: Inputs

.1 Risk Management Plan

This plan has key inputs that include the assignment of people, including the risk owners, time, and other resources to project risk management.

.2 Risk Register

The risk register has key inputs that include identified risks and risk owners, agreed-upon risk responses, specific implementation actions, symptoms and warning signs of risk, residual and secondary risks, a watchlist of low priority risks, and the time and cost contingency reserves.

.3 Approved Change Requests

Approved change requests (Section 4.6.3.1) can include modifications such as work methods, contract terms, scope, and schedule. Approved changes can generate risks or changes in identified risks, and those changes need to be analyzed for any effects upon the risk register, risk response plan, or risk management plan. All changes should be formally documented. Any verbally discussed, but undocumented, changes should not be processed or implemented.

.4 Work Performance Information

Work performance information (Section 4.4.3.7), including project deliverables' status, corrective actions, and performance reports, are important inputs to Risk Monitoring and Control.

.5 Performance Reports

Performance reports (Section 10.3.3.1) provide information on project work performance, such as an analysis that may influence the risk management processes.
