Intranet Rollout Risk Register
This is a practical guide to building a risk register for an intranet rollout project — the living log of risks with scores, owners and responses, adapted to the realities of launching a company intranet or digital workplace.
What a Risk Register is
A risk register is the living log of risks with scores, owners and responses. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Risk Register. On an intranet rollout project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Intranet Rollout project
Intranet Rollout projects live or die on launching a company intranet or digital workplace. A well-built risk register gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how intranet rollout projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Risk description and category
- Probability and impact
- Risk score
- Owner
- Response and trigger
Intranet Rollout-specific considerations
Tailor the risk register to the risks that most often derail intranet rollout projects:
- Content ownership
- Adoption
- Search and information architecture
Example
On a real intranet rollout project, the risk register would be shaped by launching a company intranet or digital workplace. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — content ownership, adoption, search and information architecture — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
