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, buy the two separately: the Excel RAID Log is $29 (and one of the 17 tools in the $99 bundle), and this browser version is $49. The $99 bundle covers the Excel version only. Same data conventions, easy to flip between.
Not sure this is the right tool for the job? Read RAID log vs risk register: when one replaces the other. It covers where each one earns its place, and where reaching for the wrong one costs you a quarter.
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, Actions, Issues, Decisions. The four things that change under a program every week, held in one place with named owners and review dates.
