As a result of risk analysis, money or time may be set aside as contingency, which may be used in the event of risks occurring. Contingency allowance provides for variations, which may occur in the expected values of elements of cost or schedule, but not scope or quality. (Note: contingency should not be shown in the plan as separate items and not hidden in activities as ‘an extra 10%’ on duration or cost.)

The document describing how project risk management will be structured and performed on the project. It is contained in or is a subsidiary plan of the project management plan. The risk management plan can be informal and broadly framed, or formal and highly detailed, based on the needs of the project.

The risk management plan is different from the risk register that contains the list of project risks, the results of risk analysis, and the risk responses.

A cost constraint is any limitation or restraint placed on the project budget, such as funds available over time. A project resource constraint is any limitation or restraint placed on resource usage, such as what resource skills or disciplines are available, and the amount of a given resource available during a specified time frame.
