  <keyConsiderations>&lt;p>&#xD;
    This list should capture the critical and serious risks. If you find this list extending beyond 20 items, carefully&#xD;
    consider whether they are really serious risks. Tracking more than 20 risks is an onerous task.&#xD;
&lt;/p></keyConsiderations>
  <purpose>To&amp;nbsp;capture the perceived risks to the success of the project.</purpose>
  <impactOfNotHaving>If risks are not identified, then the required mitigation strategies will not be in place, and&amp;nbsp;any adverse events that&#xD;
do occur on a project will have to be dealt with in an ad-hoc manner.&amp;nbsp; Undocumented risks that do occur are also more&#xD;
likely to impact the overall schedule and quality of the solution</impactOfNotHaving>
  <reasonsForNotNeeding>&lt;p>&#xD;
    Unless there are no risks, or very minimal ones, there is no reason not to produce this artifact.&#xD;
&lt;/p></reasonsForNotNeeding>
  <representationOptions>&lt;p>&#xD;
    A representation option for the risk list is to capture it as a section in the coarse-grained plan for the project.&#xD;
    This means the coarse-grained plan has to be revisited constantly as you update risks. The fine-grained plans will&#xD;
    contain only the tasks that you will be doing to mitigate risks in the short term.&#xD;
&lt;/p></representationOptions>
