Please click FREE Risk & Issue Log

These logs have been updated and improved as of 14/10/08 and now include an automatic risk & issue mitigation /resolution overdue date indicator. This means that for each risk /issue the sheet calculates how many days overdue from any given target resoltuion /mitgation date as compared with the current date. This kind of feature comes into its own when used in conjunction with our new Project Status Report due out later today IT Project Status Report.

These template logs contain some content from a real project so that you can get a feel for how to use them as part of an effective set of risk and issue management processes.

If you are wondering how to make risk and issue management work for you then I suggest you read the following How to make risk and issue management work ?

As my regular readership well knows, my blog is a serious site dedicated to the improvement of project management and software development practices, with the aim of discovering new approaches, methods and solutions capable of making the currently stratospheric annual IT Project Failure rates of 70% + a thing of the past.  However, today I am in the mood for going off message and talking about my recent holiday to Sunny Florida. I have travelled the length and breadth of America from Alaska to the Florida Keys but this trip has more than any other left a deep impression on me.

Two things come to mind when I reminisce about this great holiday - American patriotism & the heroes of the space programme.
