Assess risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies for any project or initiative.
RAID is a crucial tool for managing any project or initiative. It helps teams understand the landscape and navigate forward with confidence. By using RAID, you'll be able to identify and assess risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies, giving you a clear picture of what you're up against and how to move forward. This shared understanding will enable your team to be proactive and adaptable, and better equipped to handle any challenges that come your way.
