Make sure you list each risk clearly and avoid vague descriptions.

A clear description helps the team understand the seriousness of the risk.
Risk Register Template – Risk Assessment
Evaluate each risk based on:

You can also assign a risk score by combining likelihood and impact.
This helps you prioritize which risks need urgent attention.
