Risk register and lessons learned in ProtoPM

Reviewed October 2026

The Project Delivery tab has a Risks section with impact, likelihood and a score, shown as a list or a heat-map matrix, and a Lessons learned section. Both are free and hidden from Viewers.

It's free to run projects in ProtoPM.

Risk register

  • Each risk has an impact, a likelihood and a calculated score.
  • Switch between the List view and the Matrix heat map.
  • Edit or delete risks as the job changes.

Lessons learned

Record what worked and what didn't while it is fresh, so the next job starts with it.

Who sees it and where it goes

  • Viewers and Guests do not see Risks or Lessons learned.
  • A company can hide these sections for its projects.
  • Both are sections of the full PDF or Excel project export.
