The Ultimate Guide To Raid Log

Even with the emergence of agile ways of doing work and the release of many innovative project and task management tools, project leaders still struggle with the basics of getting projects done. But the problem isn’t where most people think. Projects seldom go wrong because of the tasks themselves, but because of unmanaged RISKS, out of control ISSUES, forgotten ACTION ITEMS and poor DECISION making.

But there is a tried and true project management tool which addresses all these areas: the RAID Log. RAID, short for Risks, Action items, Issues and Decisions, is not just a tool for managing project delivery, but also a methodology for staying on top of your projects and taking your delivery to the next level. It’s time to recognize this “old school” tool for its increasing value to modern project delivery.
