Why the interactive version instead of the Excel one
Most PMs are fine with the Excel RAID log. But there's a class of user who lives in browser tabs, hates Excel formulas, runs on a Mac where Excel feels sluggish, or wants something they can show on a screen-share without revealing their personal sheet formatting.
This is for them. Same data model, same scoring logic, same review cadence. Different surface: a clean web UI that takes 30 seconds to grasp and never breaks because someone copy-pasted over a formula.
"The best PM tool is the one you'll open on a Tuesday afternoon."
If you want both, Excel for archival and interactive for daily use, get the bundle. Same data conventions, easy to flip between.
Questions PMs ask
How is this different from the Excel RAID log?
Same discipline, different container. The Excel version ($29) lives in a spreadsheet; this one runs in the browser like an app, with filtering, one-click status changes, and autosave to your device. If your team lives in spreadsheets, buy the Excel one. If you want something that feels like a tool, this is it.
Does it need an install or a login?
Neither. It is a single HTML file that opens in any modern browser. Your data saves locally on your device; nothing is sent to a server.
What does RAID stand for?
Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies. The four things that change under a program every week, held in one place with named owners and review dates.
