register

A living log that captures and regularly updates project information that changes over time, such as risks, stakeholder details, or defect entries.

Key Points

  • A structured, ongoing record with entries added and updated over time.
  • Common types include risk, stakeholder, issue/defect, and decision registers.
  • Usually tracks fields like ID, description, owner, status, dates, and actions.
  • Supports transparency, accountability, and informed decision making.

Example

In a Scrum project, the team maintains a single register that includes risks, stakeholder updates, and newly found defects. At each sprint review, they add new items, update statuses, assign owners, and note actions taken, ensuring everyone sees the latest information in one place.
