This artifact is a sorted list of known and open risks to the project, sorted in decreasing order of importance and associated with specific mitigation or contingency actions.
The Risk List identifies, in decreasing order of priority, the events that could lead to a
significant negative outcome. It serves as a focal point for project activities and is the basis around which
iterations are organized.
The Risk List should capture the critical and serious risks-if you find this list extending beyond 20, carefully
consider whether they are really serious risks. Tracking more than 20 risks is an onerous task.
