Part 2 goes into more detail on actual risk and issue examples. I have based the categories on the only current academic research I could find on the topic. You can read that in full here:

Topics covered in Part 2 include:
02:39 High level risks
06:19 Staffing risks

33:46 Change management
38:20 Expectations of third parties such as publishers
40:40 Summary
Part 3 is a walkthrough of generating a Risk and Issue Log that you can download and use/abuse at your leisure.
