project risk register template

Description

Maintain full visibility of project risks with this comprehensive risk register slide. A clean, eight-column table lets you record each risk’s ID, date raised, and detailed description alongside color-coded likelihood, impact, and severity ratings for instant prioritization. Assign clear ownership and define targeted mitigating actions in the final columns to ensure accountability and drive resolution. The customizable master-slide design enables effortless edits: adjust column headers, swap color scales to match internal standards, resize rows for longer descriptions, or insert additional columns for custom risk categories. Subtle drop shadows and consistent gridlines preserve legibility, while the white background keeps focus squarely on your data. Whether you’re leading a construction rollout, software deployment, or compliance audit, this risk register streamlines identification, assessment, and mitigation tracking—all within a single, updatable slide optimized for both PowerPoint and Google Slides.
