RAID log

Most RAID logs are out of date by the next steering committee. Someone has to write up every meeting, and the risks that matter get buried.

Tato captures every risk, action, issue and decision from your meetings into one log and keeps it up to date. You track the items that need your team's attention, edit anything in a click, or ask Tato to make the change for you.

Nothing slips through: every item from every meeting is captured, with no one assigned to write it up.
Attention where it counts: Tato keeps everything current, and your team tracks the few items that need human eyes.
A log you can stand behind: every change shows who made it and which activity (meeting, email, doc, etc.) it came from.

How it works

Tato captures: every item from every meeting lands in your log.
You track: flag the items that need human eyes.
You edit: open any item to change it and see its history.
You ask: tell Tato in chat what to change, and approve it.

1. Tato captures RAID from every meeting

When a meeting is processed, open it and go to the RAID tab. You see the risks, actions, issues and decisions Tato found, each marked New or Updated.

Every one of them is added to your project's RAID log. Tato keeps them up to date as later meetings mention them, so there's nothing to copy over.

Dismiss an item that isn't relevant. If you dismiss one by mistake, restore it from the Dismissed section.
Track an item that needs your team's attention.

Every project comes with automations that extract RAID items from its meetings, with no setup needed. For more control, see Automation routines.

2. Track what needs attention

Your log holds everything Tato captured. Tracking flags the items your team should keep an eye on, and Tato pays closer attention to them going forward.

	Tracked	Untracked
In the RAID log	Yes	Yes
Kept up to date by Tato	Yes	Yes
Flagged for your team's attention	Yes

Filter the log by Tracking to see only the items your team is following. Clear the filter to see everything Tato found.

3. Open any item to edit it

Click any row in the log to open the item beside the list. Click a field, such as status, category, owner, impact or probability, to change it.

Every change is saved as a new version in History, with who made it and which activity (meeting, email, doc, etc.) it came from. Each item also has its own page, so you can share a link to it.

4. Or ask Tato to make the change

Describe the change in chat. Tato reads the items, then suggests the edits. Nothing changes until you click Apply, and you can click Reject instead.

For example:

Find duplicate risks and merge them.
Assign every open action from today's workshop to Jane.
Link the data migration risk to the I2M design sprint action.

You can also ask about your log to get a live view of where your project stands:

What are the top 5 risks that need my attention?
Give me a digest of my outstanding actions.

Pair this with automation routines, like a daily digest of outstanding actions, to keep your team on track.

Bringing in an existing log

If your project already has a RAID log, you don't have to start from scratch:

Upload a file: drop your existing log into Tato chat and ask Tato to add the items to your project.
Import from a connected app: if you've connected a tool like Jira, ask Tato to import your RAID items from it.
Add items manually: go to the RAID page, click Create, and fill in the form.
