Risks logged against the WBS element they threaten — not a separate spreadsheet nobody updates.
Risk registers kept in a separate document rarely get updated once the project is underway, which defeats the point of having one. TrackElan keeps the risk register inside the project module itself, with each risk tied to the WBS element it threatens, so reviewing project status and reviewing project risk happen in the same screen instead of two different meetings.
Mitigation owners, target dates, and status are tracked the same way any other project data is tracked — which means risk reviews actually happen because the data is already where the PM already is.
Keep the risk register alive by putting it where the PM already works
Review cost, schedule, and risk in one place instead of three tools
Roll risk exposure up to a portfolio view for leadership
Build an institutional lessons-learned record instead of losing it project to project
