CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project management planning

The risk register is the planning artifact used to document identified risks, their probability and impact, response strategies, and risk owners. It is the primary tool for managing project risks throughout the project lifecycle.

**Why not A:** The stakeholder register identifies and categorizes project stakeholders, their interests, and engagement levels. It is not designed to document risks, response strategies, or risk owners — those elements belong in the risk register.

**Why not C:** A responsibility assignment matrix (like a RACI chart) documents who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for project activities. It does not document risks, their probability and impact, or risk response strategies.

**Why not D:** The issue log documents issues that have already occurred and need resolution. Nadia needs to document potential threats and opportunities (risks) that could affect the project, along with response strategies — which is the purpose of the risk register, not the issue log.
