Project Manager / Manage the RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and decision records

Ask Claude to update the RAID log from weekly status and meeting notes

At the end of each status meeting, paste the transcript or notes into Claude with the current RAID log and ask it to draft updates: new risks or issues with an owner and severity, closed items with the resolution note, and dependencies that shifted. The PM reviews, edits, and commits — the log stays current instead of drifting.

Starter prompt

You are helping me keep a RAID log current. Here is my current RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and this week's meeting notes: [PASTE]. Produce: 1) proposed updates (new rows with owner + severity, closed rows with resolution, rows that shifted), 2) three items that look stale and need an owner check-in, 3) one recommended agenda item for next week's steering committee. Use neutral, factual language.

Caveats

  • - Do a human review before sending, publishing, filing, or making a decision.
  • - Verify numbers, names, claims, citations, and compliance-sensitive details.
  • - AI drafts. You decide. Final responsibility is yours.
