In short

A RAID log tracks a project's risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies in one place. This template puts the four lists on a live board the team updates from their phones, with a Closed column, and a 20-minute weekly review agenda that checks last week's actions, adds new items and escalates what the team can't solve.

What's inside

The agenda

By the end of this meeting, every open item has an owner and a next step, and anything we can't solve ourselves is escalated.

How to run it

  1. 1Keep the same board every week; Closed cards show progress and the summary keeps the history.
  2. 2Start with last week's actions, then collect new items from phones in five minutes.
  3. 3Talk about issues first, then only the risks and dependencies that changed. Don't re-read the whole log.
  4. 4End with escalations and owners. If the meeting runs over 20 minutes, the log is too long; split it by workstream.

Questions people ask

What is a RAID log?
A project management log of Risks (might happen), Assumptions (believed true but unproven), Issues (happening now) and Dependencies (things you're waiting on). Some teams use the D for Decisions instead.
What's the difference between a RAID log and a risk register?
A risk register tracks only risks, usually with likelihood, impact and responses. A RAID log is broader and also covers assumptions, issues and dependencies.
What should an issue log template include?
A short description, the impact, the date raised, an owner, the next action with a due date, and the status. Close issues when they're resolved, don't delete them.
How often should you review a RAID log?
Weekly for most projects, in a short meeting. Review the full log at major milestones or phase gates.
