PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
In PRINCE2, what is the purpose of the Risk Register?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the Risk Register with the Issue Register, as both involve logging and tracking items, but PRINCE2 strictly separates risks (uncertain future events) from issues (current problems or requests for change).

It is a key management product that supports the continuous management of risk throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that risks are formally captured, assessed, and controlled.
