PMI Risk Management Professional Practice Exam

In the context of a risk register for a new project, the schedule is typically excluded because the risk register primarily focuses on identifying, assessing, and managing risks rather than detailing the project schedule. The risk register serves as a tool to log identified risks, potential impacts, mitigation strategies, and responses to these risks, allowing project managers to monitor and manage uncertainties effectively.

Including aspects like mitigation strategies, risk responses, and identified risks directly aligns with the purpose of the risk register. The focus is on capturing risks that could potentially impact the project and determining how to address them. The project schedule, while crucial for overall project management, generally resides in separate project management documents and tools tailored for planning and tracking the project's timeline. Thus, it is appropriate to exclude schedule details from the risk register to maintain its clarity and effectiveness in risk management.
