Is a list of action items from a meeting considered a work product for Risk and Opportunity Management?

In the context of Risk and Opportunity Management, a work product is typically defined as an output that is created as a result of a structured process or activity aimed at managing risks and opportunities. While a list of action items from a meeting may be valuable for tracking decisions and follow-ups, it does not inherently constitute a formal work product related specifically to Risk and Opportunity Management.

Work products in this domain are more comprehensive documents or artifacts that encompass analyses, assessments, plans, and other outputs that specifically address identified risks and opportunities. They include risk registers, opportunity assessments, risk mitigation plans, and similar documents that directly contribute to the management of risks and opportunities.

A list of action items may lack the necessary detail or structured analysis required to be categorized as a formal work product in this context. It serves more as a record of discussions and decisions rather than a focused output derived from a systematic risk management process. Thus, the characterization of the action item list as not being a work product is aligned with the principles of Risk and Opportunity Management as defined within CMMI practices.
