You can also add what possible mitigation you can have a separate line in the risk/issue description. The owner of the risk or issue is a person responsible for some action item to mitigate or address the risk or issue.





The risk or issue status will be open or close. It should be open when the risk or issue still needs to be looked at. It should be closed when the risk or issue has been addressed.



It is a good idea to leave the risk in closed status for a couple weeks in the report so that people can see it is closed. If you remove the risks or issues immediately after closing people will never notice a certain issue was addressed. You may choose to move the closed risk at the bottom of the list.
