The word Risk signifies or means Danger and our perception is that, whenever it happens, the result will be negative or something undesirable. That's the general description but we are preparing for PMP and what the PMI says matters!!!
According to PMI
Risk is an uncertain event or condition that if occurs, has a positive or negative effect on meeting the project objectives related to components such as schedule (time), cost, scope or Quality.
For example, one of the obvious schedule objectives for a project is to complete the project by the scheduled deadline. If a risk related to the schedule occurs, it can delay the completion of the project, or it can make it possible to finish the project earlier. So, the two characteristics of a risk in project management are the following:
• It stems from elements of uncertainty.
• It might have negative or positive effects on meeting the project objectives.
Risk management includes planning risk management, identifying and analyzing the risks, preparing the response plan, monitoring the risk, and implementing the risk response if the risk occurs
There are many Activities involved in it:
• Plan Risk Management - A process to determine the how of risk management: how to conduct risk management for the project at hand.
• Identify Risks - A process to identify and document the risks that might occur for a given project.
• Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis - A process used to estimate the overall probability for risks to occur and their impact and to prioritize them accordingly for further analysis.
• Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis - A process used to analyze numerically the effect of identified risks on meeting the project objectives.
• Plan Risk Responses - A process used to prepare a risk response plan in order to increase the positive impact and decrease the negative impact of risks on the project.
• Monitor and Control Risks - A process used for tracking identified risks, identifying new risks, executing risk response plans, and evaluating the effectiveness of executing responses throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Why is it necessary to have a risk management plan?
The Risk Management plan is the heart and soul of Risk Management. It guides the project team in carrying out risk related activities in the project. In this section we are going to learn in detail about this valuable piece of document that will be used by the Risk Manager throughout the project's lifecycle. Let us start off with the Purpose of the Risk Management Plan. The purpose of the Risk Management Plan is to define how risks will be managed, monitored and controlled throughout the project. It details how risk management processes of the Project Risk Management knowledge area will be carried out, thereby increasing the chances of success of the project processes. The risk management plan is a subsidiary of the Project Management Plan which you might already know is a collection of various subsidiary plans and components. Do you remember the earlier chapter on the Project Risk Management knowledge areas?? TheRisk Management Plan is created during the first process namely "Plan Risk Management".
What is the relationship between a risk register and a risk management plan in project management?
In project management, a risk register is a document that identifies and records potential risks that could impact a project. A risk management plan, on the other hand, outlines how these risks will be assessed, monitored, and mitigated throughout the project. The risk register feeds into the risk management plan by providing the necessary information to develop strategies for managing and minimizing potential risks. In essence, the risk register informs the risk management plan and helps project managers proactively address and mitigate risks to ensure project success.
What the important of risk management?
Risk Management is extremely important because every project has atleast a few Risks that may affect it and if the manager doesnt plan for them, there is a 100% probability that the project will be a failure. That is why every manager has to plan risk management and execute the plan diligently Risk management planning is the process used to decide how the risk management activities for the project at hand will be performed. The major goals for planning risk management are threefold: Ensure that the type, level, and visibility of risk management are proportionate to the actual risk involved in the project and the importance of the project to the organization; secure sufficient resources, including time for risk management activities; and set up an agreed-upon basis for evaluating risks. To be more explicit, you use the risk management planning process to determine the following: • How to approach the risk management activities for this project • How to plan the risk management activities • How to execute the risk management activities
