A project manager is documenting the specific actions that will be taken to manage and control risks throughout the project. Which document is this?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the risk register (which lists individual risks and responses) with the risk management plan (which defines the process for managing all risks), leading them to select the risk register when the question asks for the document that describes the specific actions to manage and control risks.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk management plan
The risk management plan is the document that describes how risk management activities will be structured and performed throughout the project, including specific actions for identifying, analyzing, responding to, and controlling risks. It is a component of the project management plan and provides the methodology, roles, responsibilities, and budgeting for risk management, not the list of individual risks themselves.
