1. When an assumption is made, record it in the Assumption Log starting with entering a Reference Number — this is a simple wa
number of assumptions throughout the duration of the Project. e.g. 1, 2, 3

Risk or Issue Response Type
Term Description
This type of risk/issue response involves the project taking an informed decision that the risk/issue is within
the tolerance for the project and no action will be taken to avoid, transfer or mitigate the risk/issue.
Accept Examples include accepting that the level of risk left after mitigations have been applied is within the risk
tolerance. Also for risks/issues that have low impact or likelihood ratings where the effort to avoid / transfer
/ mitigate would be equal to or greater than the risk/issue itself.
This type of risk/issue response involves evading the risk/issue altogether by eliminating the cause of the
Mitigate
risk/issue event, or changing the project planning in order for the risk/issue to no longer exist.
Share This type of risk/issue response involves assigning a third party to deliver the opportunity.
This type of risk/issue response involves placing the consequences or impact of the risk/issue to a third
party. The risk/issue still exists so it is not avoided but responsibility rests elsewhere. Examples include

insurance and contracts where the risk is borne by a third party. Contract where a skill set is acquired for
the project for a fee.
