RAID+ Log
with dashboard

The problem

You have just been handed a project. There is no governance. No risk register. No issues log. No decision trail. You need something that works today - not a six-week tool procurement process.

Or maybe you have Jira, Monday, Asana, or ClickUp on the wish list - but no budget, no licence, and no time to wait. You need a Microsoft Excel artefact that your team can open right now.

What is inside (11 sheets, one workbook)

• 1. Dashboard - project summary at a glance with quick navigation to every register
• 2. Definitions - plain-language guidance for every field so your team stops guessing
• 3. Risk Register - with severity matrix and three risk category taxonomies (Enterprise, Technology, Project)
• 4. Assumptions Register - track what you are taking for granted before it bites you
• 5. Actions Register - assign it, track it, close it
• 6. Issues Register - log, prioritise, escalate, resolve
• 7. Dependencies Register - map what is blocking what
• 8. Decisions Register - who decided what, when, and why
• 9. Change Request Log - scope changes with impact assessment
• 10. Lessons Learned - capture what worked and what did not while it is still fresh
• 11. Risk Categories - Enterprise, Technology, and Project risk taxonomies with a visual assessment matrix
