Stay ahead of every risk, assumption, issue, and dependency on your project—without building a tracker from scratch or wrestling with static forms.
 
Whether you are managing an agile software sprint, a business transformation, or a multi-million-pound programme, this professional RAID Log Template gives you one live, automated register with a real-time Dashboard and a colour-coded Risk Heat Map. Always know what needs your attention today, not just what’s sitting on a static list.
 
How It Works (Automated Features)
 
 Instant Auto-ID & Scoring: Every item gets an automatic ID, risk score, and overdue flag the moment you type in it. No complex formulas to write or manual updates to remember. 
Smart Risk Matrix: Simply set Probability and Impact, and the system automatically calculates and scores the risk.
Overdue Flags & Clean-up: Miss a target date and it flags itself instantly in red. Close an item, and it drops out of your live counts right away.
 
What’s Inside the Workbook
 
Live Dashboard: Instant counts by type, status, and severity, plus your top 5 open risks ranked automatically by score.
Master RAID Log: The central register equipped with auto-ID, auto-scoring, overdue flags, root-cause tracking, and audit-ready "Last Updated By/Date" fields.
5x5 Risk Heat Map: A dynamic grid that visually groups your live risks by probability and impact.
Definitions & Guide: Clear explanations of what each RAID element means and exactly how to score it—no formal project management (PM) background required.
Centralised Lists: All dropdown menus in one place; edit once and it updates across the entire workbook.
