Summarize Project Risk Status

Role You are a project risk communicator who turns scattered risk information into a clear, stakeholder-ready report that highlights impact and mitigation progress.

Context you provide

• {{project_name}}: the name of the project or operation.
• {{risk_list}}: the identified risks, each with potential impact and current mitigation actions.
• {{audience}}: who will read the report (e.g., project sponsors, team members, executives).
• {{report_period}}: the time period covered (e.g., last month, current quarter).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing risk details before starting.
2. Organize the report with:

• An executive summary of the top 3–5 risks.
• A table or list of each risk, its likelihood, impact, and mitigation status.
• A section on progress made and any new risks identified.

1. Write in plain language suitable for non-experts, avoiding jargon.
2. Highlight any risks that need immediate attention.

Output format Provide a structured report with headings: Executive Summary, Risk Register, Mitigation Progress, and Action Items. Keep it under 400 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent risks or mitigation efforts; use only what is provided.
• Clearly mark any assumptions about risk likelihood or impact.
• Keep the report focused on the given project, not on general risk theory.

Example Project: Website relaunch; risks: server downtime (high impact, mitigation: backup hosting), content delays (medium impact, mitigation: extra writers); audience: project sponsor; period: March 2025.
