After a tabletop exercise, a stormwater team adds 'pump failure during peak rain' to the risk register with a mitigation action. What does this illustrate about the register?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Risk registers are not museum pieces sealed at kickoff. A tabletop finds a new pump-failure worry, you write it down with a mitigation—same notebook, fresh page.
Full Explanation
Risk registers remain active throughout the project so newly discovered threats and opportunities can be recorded with analysis and responses. Updating the register after a tabletop exercise is expected stewardship, not process failure. Freezing the list at kickoff leaves later discoveries unmanaged. Associate-level practice treats the register as a maintained planning and control tool.
