PK0-005 Practice Question: During a project kickoff meeting, the team…
During a project kickoff meeting, the team identifies several potential risks. The project manager decides to document them in a structured format. Which project document should the project manager use to record and track these risks throughout the project?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse risk identification techniques (brainstorming, nominal group technique, SWOT analysis) with the document used to record and track risks, leading them to select a technique instead of the risk register.

Risk register
The risk register is the formal project document used to record identified risks, their analysis, planned responses, and status throughout the project lifecycle. In the PK0-005 context, it is the definitive tool for tracking risks from identification through closure, ensuring all risks are managed systematically.
