Once the contingency plan has been executed (e.g., the backup resource has shadowed the experienced developer), it is crucial to continuously monitor and manage any residual or secondary risks that may arise.
These risks could include the backup resource's ability to perform effectively or the potential impact of the original developer's absence on project timelines. By updating the risk register and maintaining communication with the project team, the risk manager ensures that the project remains on track and that any new risks are promptly addressed, in alignment with PMI's best practices for ongoing risk management.

When a risk manager notices that the risk register is missing key data, the most critical information they will require first includes the risk description, risk probability, and risk impact. These elements are fundamental to understanding each risk and planning appropriate responses. The risk description provides a clear understanding of what the risk is, while the probability and impact help in assessing the severity and likelihood of the risk occurring, which are essential for prioritizing and managing risks effectively.
PMI's risk management guidelines emphasize the importance of having these core data points to effectively manage risks throughout the project lifecycle.
