The attendance list is important because it is evidence that risk review meetings were held with the appropriate project team members, as this is a requirement of the risk management plan. The risk management plan defines how risk management activities will be performed, recorded, and monitored throughout the project, and it also identifies the roles and responsibilities of the project team members and stakeholders in relation to risk management. The attendance list shows who participated in the risk review meetings, which are periodic meetings to review and update the risk register, the risk response plan, and the risk metrics. The attendance list also helps to ensure that the risk review meetings are effective and efficient, as it allows the project manager to follow up with the attendees on their assigned actions and to communicate the results of the meetings to the relevant stakeholders.
