The resource risk: identify where the plan assumes resource availability that is uncertain, shared, or historically unreliable 5. A risk register summary: the top three strategic risks ranked by likely impact, each with a specific early warning signal and an owner [Describe or paste your project plan summary, timeline, and key dependencies] </task> <output_format> - Five sections matching the items above - Risk register: three risks, each with impact level, early warning signal, and suggested owner role - Tone: analytical, plain, no project management jargon </output_format>
