Risk register and project management plan

 I passed a mock test and one of question was asking if the risk register was a component of the project management plan. The answer was yes, the risk register is one of the component that makes up the project management plan.

I woudl think that the risk register is a project document and is not part of the project managment plan.

What do you think?

Dear Antonie,


You are correct, Risk register is Project documents.


To refer which is part of Project Plan and which is a Project document please refer:


PMBOK Page 350 A.1.2


Otherwise also, in respective Project Document updates you can see, for example in:


PMBOK Page 88


PMBOK Page 141 6.2.3


PMBOK Page 293 - 11.3.3


Hope this helps.
