RAID log: risks, actions, issues, and decisions in one place
Free tier • Built by PMs • No enterprise bloat
The Problem
Project control breaks down when RAID lives in memory, email, and side files
Risks are discussed but not surfaced again. Issues get reported but not tracked. Actions lose owners and due dates. Decisions get made, but the reasoning disappears. By the time the project needs a clear answer, the PM is reconstructing history instead of managing from one system of record.
Risks surface too late
What starts as a note becomes a live project threat before anyone acts.
Actions lose accountability
Without one record of owner, status, and due date, commitments fade quickly.
Decisions lose context
Months later, teams remember the outcome but not the rationale.
RAID becomes fragmented from the rest of delivery
When risks, issues, and decisions live outside planning, stakeholder management, and task follow-through, control weakens.
The Solution
One RAID log for the signals that shape project delivery
Control
Surface high-risk items, overdue actions, and open issues before they escalate
Context
Preserve rationale, ownership, and project history for reviews and handoffs
Consolidation
Keep RAID in the same workspace as planning, stakeholder management, and tasks
How PMHub helps you manage each part of RAID
Same patterns you use in delivery, captured in one sortable, filterable surface.
Risks
Prioritize the threats most likely to affect delivery with likelihood, severity, and visible scoring.
- Likelihood + impact prioritization
- High-risk items visually obvious
- Status from open through mitigated
Issues
Keep live blockers visible with ownership and status so they do not disappear into chat or email.
- Owner and status on every issue
- Open → resolved workflow
- See what is blocking delivery now
Actions
Track follow-through with owners, due dates, and overdue visibility so commitments stay accountable.
- Not started → in progress → complete
- Overdue actions stand out
- Clear ownership per action
Decisions
Preserve rationale, approvers, and status so teams can explain not just what was decided, but why.
- Context, alternatives, approvers
- Pending → approved tracking
- Future-you can reconstruct the story
Stakeholders
RAID is also how PMs manage accountability and escalation
Many risks, actions, and decisions are driven by people: sponsor approvals, client responses, vendor dependencies, and internal follow-up. In PMHub, your RAID log sits in the same workspace as the stakeholder register and project notes, so the communication and escalation context stays visible.

Capabilities
What the RAID log helps project managers do
Spot risk sooner
Use scoring and filters to surface the items most likely to impact delivery.
Track accountability clearly
Keep owners, statuses, and due dates visible so actions and issues do not drift.
Preserve decision history
Capture rationale and approvers so handoffs, audits, and reviews are easier.
Review faster
Use filters, card view, and table view to scan for executive updates or deep-dive work.
Keep RAID connected to delivery
Move from a RAID item into planning, stakeholder context, or execution without switching tools.
RAID log FAQ
- What is a RAID log?
- A RAID log is a running record of Risks, Actions, Issues, and Decisions on a project. PMHub keeps all four types in one online RAID log with filters, scoring, and views so nothing slips through email or spreadsheets.
- RAID log vs risk register: what is the difference?
- A risk register usually focuses on risks alone. A full RAID log adds actions, issues, and decisions in one place. PMHub supports the full RAID model with workflows tuned to each type.
- Can I use PMHub as an online RAID log for multiple projects?
- Yes. Each project has its own RAID log. On Free you can have up to 3 projects with up to 50 RAID items in total across those projects. Pro adds unlimited projects, unlimited RAID items, and Excel export. See the Pricing page for full plan details.
