Risks

• Risks are defined as anticipated issues, events, or dependencies that may disrupt execution of the project (scope, schedule, cost) or AER operations.

• Risks have not yet occurred and can be mitigated

Actions

• The action log will capture and track the actions which arise out of the three main meetings: Work Stream Lead Meeting, IMO Meeting & Steering Committee

Issues

• Issues are defined as events that have occurred because a risk has not been identified or previously mitigated

• Issues if not resolved will disrupt the project (scope, schedule, cost) or AER operations

Decisions

• Key decisions that are required to continue making progress on the project or to maintain smooth AER operations

Dependencies

• Dependencies describe reliance on another work stream activity or deliverable

• Identification of dependencies will decrease risks and issues, and help identify synergies

• Dependencies will be captured throughout the RAID log

R.A.I.D: DefinitionsFor the R.A.I.D to be used successfully, users need to understand the difference between Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions & Dependencies
