Show Me Your RAID Log

Projects don’t go wrong because of the activities on your Kanban  board or your 1000-line project plan. Projects go wrong because of unmanaged risks, forgotten action items, out of control issues or poor decisions. That’s why the most important part of the plan is planning for your plan to not go according to plan.  

But there is an old standby project management tool, the RAID log, specifically developed to keep projects on track, and course-correct when things go wrong. Whether you need to run or rescue a project, RAID logs  can help you succeed. 

This presentation, based on content from his book, The Ultimate Guide to RAID Logs, Kim will introduce the audience to the RAID approach and share case studies and real-world horror stories where RAID management came to the rescue of troubled projects.

Learning Objectives:  

• Understand what a RAID log is and how it works 
• Understand how to use a RAID log to accomplish project wins by managing your project, multiple projects, managing up, managing down, and managing contract delivery
