This standard process can be used as a methodological guide for writing the programme Risk Management Plan;-recognises the need for knowledge management related to Risk Management, in order to capitalize and to share lessons learnt with other programmes, as well as the maturity assessment of the Risk Management;-identifies useful documents for Risk Management;-proposes an example of a typical checklist of risks related to a programme;in addition:-addresses opportunities. An opportunity is an uncertain event with positive consequences on the programme.
