Risks

Identify new risks, challenge existing risks, and generate mitigation actions.

Use AI to structure thinking, but keep risk ownership and judgement with the project team.
Primary action

Use this when...

You have meeting notes, issue logs, reports, or a risk register and need a sharper project risk view.

Risk review happens in Copilot or Microsoft 365. AI output must be reviewed by the responsible project team before use.

Copy-ready Prompts

Review Risks in Copilot

Copy a prompt, attach approved evidence, and validate the output with project risk owners.

Prompt

Project Risk Review

You are supporting a Risk Manager. Using project information: 1. Identify new risks 2. Review existing risks 3. Improve descriptions (Cause → Risk → Impact) Then provide: * Top 5 risks * Risk trends * Mitigation actions Rules: * Do NOT assume risks without evidence * Outputs are suggestions only Output: * Risk insights * Actions
Use It in Practice

Example Scenario

A practical view of the input, output, and delivery value.

Example Input

Current risk register, latest issue log, schedule notes, and meeting actions for a project review.

  • Several risks describe symptoms rather than causes
  • Controls are generic and hard to track
  • New dependencies appear in meeting notes but not the register

Example Output

  • Top risk: late interface decisions may delay design freeze
  • Trend: procurement and approvals risks increasing this period
  • Action: assign owner to confirm mitigation plan by next review

Before vs After

Before

  • Static risk register
  • Weak descriptions
  • Generic mitigations

After

  • Evidence-led risk view
  • Clear cause and impact
  • Trackable actions
