This risk management template will help you identify risks and establish a project plan to reduce the effects of a risky situation.
Type in the potential risks and think about the causes and consequences.
If you have a risk event with severe consequences, you or another team member has to take action immediately.
Where to next?
Type in the event that is at risk of occurring. This is an incident that has both causes and consequences, and is usually undesirable (as 'risk' usually has a negative meaning, but not always).
Examples of events include:
Type in a potential cause for Risk name.
Then rate its probability by clicking an icon:
How can you reduce the probability of Cause occurring?
Can anything be done to prevent it from happening, or at least reduce the chances?
Type in a control measure
How might the control measure fail?
We have added the control measure Control to reduce the probability of Cause. How might Control fail? What could go wrong and allow Cause to still happen?
Example: a generator might fail because it runs out of oil. So we could add an oil sensor to give an early warning. This oil sensor would be a control measure. But the oil sensor itself might fail, allowing the generator to fail.
Add a backup control
How can we reduce the chances of Control failure occurring, or preventing Control from working?
Can Control failure be prevented from happening?
If not, can we reduce the chances of it happening?
If it happens, can we reduce the impact, so that Control still works?
Example: adding an oil sensor to a generator could prevent generator failure. To reduce the chances of the oil sensor failing (and allowing the generator to fail), we could add a self-test mechanism to the oil sensor as a backup control.
Consequences
What are the consequences of Risk name?
What happens as a result of this incident?
Add a potential consequence of Risk name.
Then rate its impact by clicking an icon:
How can you reduce the impact of Consequence?
What can be done to make it less disruptive, easier to cope with, or easier to recover from?
Add a control measure
Control failure
How might the control measure fail?
You have added the control measure Control to reduce the impact of Consequence.
How might Control fail? What could go wrong?
Example: the failure of a packaging machine could have a major impact, so we might keep an old machine for emergencies. But this old machine might not work when needed, because it has not been maintained.
Backup control
Add a backup control
How can you reduce the chances of Control failure occurring, or preventing Control from working?
Can Control failure be prevented from happening?
If it cannot be prevented, can we reduce the chances of it happening?
If it happens, can we reduce the impact, so that Control still works?
Mind maps help you brainstorm, establish relationships between concepts, organize and generate ideas.
However, mind map templates offer an easier way to get started, as they are frameworks that contain information about a specific subject with guiding instructions. In essence, mind map templates ensure the structure that combines all the elements of a specific subject and serves as a starting point for your personal mind map. They are a resource for providing a practical solution to create a mind map on a particular topic, either for business or education.
Mindomo brings you smart mind map templates that allow you to function and think effortlessly.

Removing the template data
You can choose from a variety of mind map templates from Mindomo's business or educational accounts, or you can create your own mind map templates from scratch. Any mind map can be transformed into a mind map template map by adding further guiding notes to one of its topics.
