Project Controls Plan This section describes the applicable project controls (template includes risks, issues, action items, decisions, and change requests). The PMO should determine which project control tools will be used on the project, but at a minimum it is expected that all projects utilize risk, issue, and change request logs, and will therefore need to include the corresponding sections below. Risk Management This section plans the risk management process. For example: project’s What is the process to identify and analyse risk? What is the process to develop a risk response? What is the process to monitor risk? What is the process to determine if risk is realized? What is the process for a risk that is realized and converted to an issue? How to determine is risk is still active? How to close risk? Process Summary Define the risk management process. Risk Types Define the risk types for the project. In the Risk Log template and in the table below, the generic types are defined. Modify as needed. Table 1- Risk type and description Risk Type Risk Type Description External Any risk related to environmental factors largely outside the control of the project (such as cultural, legal, or regulatory). Financial Any risk related to the budget or cost structure of the project (such as increase or decrease in the project-related budget). Functional Any risk related to the overall function of the product (such as requirements or design) being developed by the project. Organization Any risk related to internal, third-party organizational or business changes (such as executive leadership role changes). Performance Any risk associated with the performance of the application (such as response time, stress testing, and development environments). Project Management Any risk related to the management of the project (such as communications, status reporting, and issues management). Quality Any risk related to the quality requirements of the project. Resource Any risk related to project resources (such as the addition or removal of resources).
