"Use checks and balances to manage project risks and issues."

Risk and issue management is by far one of the most important tasks for a project manager. Managing the risks and issues well is a critical success factor in delivering a successful project. To better manage the risks and issues, try setting up a process that employs checks and balances to manage the risk register and issue log. Assign different project team members to "own" the risk register and issue  issue log. This way, you as the Project Manager can utilize these tools outside the duties of maintaining them.  Thus you can look at them fresh each time you review them. Make sure the other team members are also reviewing these regularly and bring up concerns at project meetings
