About this product

RAID/CARDI is more than a spreadsheet. It is one of the most powerful tools a Project Manager can use to identify problems early, create accountability, drive decisions, and protect project delivery.

The RAID & CARDI Project Manager Playbook is a practical 10-page guide designed for Project Managers, aspiring PMs, Delivery Managers, Scrum Masters, Business Analysts, and professionals responsible for project governance.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the difference between Constraints, Assumptions, Risks, Dependencies, and Issues
  • Know exactly what belongs in a RAID/CARDI log—and what doesn’t
  • Write RAID entries that are clear, actionable, and management-ready
  • Assess risks using Probability × Impact
  • Build effective mitigation, contingency, and trigger plans
  • Identify and manage critical dependencies
  • Recognize when a risk becomes an issue
  • Structure issues for effective escalation and decision-making
  • Create a RAID/CARDI register that actually supports project governance
  • Run an effective weekly RAID/CARDI review
  • Avoid the common RAID mistakes that make project logs useless
  • Use ready-to-copy risk, assumption, dependency, issue, constraint, and escalation templates
  • Apply a practical weekly RAID/CARDI checklist

This isn't designed to teach you how to maintain another spreadsheet.

It is designed to help you think like a stronger Project Manager—spotting delivery threats earlier, asking better questions, assigning real ownership, and escalating the right things at the right time.

Perfect for PMs who want to move from “tracking the project” to actually “controlling the project.”

I worked with NC for a long-term mobile app project, and her involvement made a significant difference in how we approached the entire technology and delivery process. One of the biggest challenges for me was understanding the technical side of the project and knowing whether I was choosing the right agency. Chaudhary helped me evaluate and interview agencies, ask the right technical questions, compare their approaches, and understand what they were actually proposing without making the process unnecessarily complicated. She helped me understand the scope, estimates, timelines, technical decisions, and potential risks. This gave me much more confidence while making decisions and negotiating with agencies. Her guidance also helped me avoid unnecessary costs and save a significant amount of money by identifying areas where I could have easily overpaid or chosen the wrong approach. What I valued most was that NC wasn't just focused on getting the app built. She helped me understand what I was paying for, why I needed it, and whether it actually made sense for my business. If you're a business owner or non-technical founder planning a digital product or mobile app, I would strongly recommend having someone like Neha on your side before you commit to an agency. Much thanks and love - Thomas EB

The session with Neha was really useful and honestly, it was exactly the kind of guidance I was looking for. I got answers to the questions I had and much more clarity on my career direction and what I should focus on next. I really appreciated her practical and honest advice and the way she understood my situation. I’m leaving the session with a much clearer idea of my next steps. Thank you, Neha, for the valuable guidance!

Worth spending 300 rather than paying 10k euros to some random agency! Thanks, NC. 🙌
