The Planning Summary

Summarizing planning agreements is the best way to make sure that the risk assessment stays true to its original intent. There is no predetermined format, length, or complexity for a planning summary.

Create something that:

• Functions as a useful reference.
• Documents agreed-upon decisions.
• Serves as a point of reference for determining whether decisions need to be changed in response to new information.
• Is tailored to the risk assessment it represents.
• Helps ensure quality communication between risk managers, risk assessors, and others who will eventually need to know or use the results.
