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

A list of action items from a meeting is not considered a work product for the Risk and Opportunity Management practice because it typically lacks the necessary depth, formality, and completeness required to inform decision-making regarding risks and opportunities within an organization. Work products in CMMI processes are usually defined as tangible outputs that are the result of the implementation of a process and should contribute directly to the management and mitigation of risks.

In Risk and Opportunity Management, the products often include detailed risk assessments, opportunity assessments, risk registers, or mitigation plans that provide comprehensive information and actionable insights. While action items might indicate tasks to be completed, they may not encompass the strategic analysis or assessment components critical to effectively managing risks and opportunities.

For a document or product to be considered a work product, it must fulfill specific criteria, such as being structured, comprehensive, and directly related to the objectives of the practice. A simple list of action items, even if documented, does not typically satisfy this rigor and therefore does not qualify as a valid work product in this context.
