What’s the difference between a risk and an issue? +

A risk is a potential future problem; an issue is already happening. Track risks early so you can mitigate before they become issues.

How many risks should we track? +

Keep it small. Start with the top 5–10 risks that could materially impact delivery, then expand only if it stays actionable.

How often should we review the risk register? +

Weekly for active projects, or bi-weekly if work is stable. The goal is to keep the register current and useful.
