Decision tracking
Every decision has an outcome.
Log every decision with context, owner, and status. When someone asks "I thought we agreed…" — you have the answer.
Explain, with evidence, why a decision was made.
MODERN RAID LOG SOFTWARE FOR DELIVERY PMs
Every risk and blocker, connected to the milestone it threatens.
Your projects don't lose information, they lose the thread that explains why delivery is where it is today. That's what Causr solves.
Add your first milestone and two risks — no card, ~5 minutes.
Built with feedback from experienced project managers frustrated by traditional RAID logs.
Your project plan isn't the problem.
Your roadmap says green. So does the sprint board. The thing that's about to blow your deadline didn't happen in any of them, it was the risk raised in an impromptu chat that was missed.
RAID logs are supposed to catch this but in practice they're a record of what exists, that no one opens, with no link to what it threatens. Poor communication is already cited as a leading cause of 57% of project failure. We need a single source of truth for these risks, blockers, decisions and mission critical communications for full delivery confidence.
Causr is your source of truth.
Who it's for
Built for delivery PMs, not generic task tracking.
Causr is for you if
- 1You're accountable for a deadline that depends on other people's work
- 2Your team still raise issues via instant messaging despite culture reviews & you need a central source of truth
- 3You've been burned by a RAID log nobody updates
- 4You run agile, waterfall, or something in between — Causr tracks risk relationally, not by methodology
Causr is not a replacement for Jira, Asana, or Monday.
It doesn't manage tasks or sprints. It sits above those tools and tracks the risks, blockers, and decisions that threaten your milestones — the layer those tools don't cover.
How it works
One view. Every loose thread connected.
Causr sits above your existing tools — not inside them. No new workflows for your team and no extra meetings for anyone.
01
Capture
Add decisions, risks, blockers, and updates from a meeting, a Slack message, email, or a quick note. Attach them to what they actually affect — not just a date.

02
Connect
Every item links to a milestone. The impact graph shows you what's upstream of a delay and what happens downstream if it isn't resolved.

Act
Every node has an owner and a status. Causr surfaces what's overdue, what's escalating, and what needs a decision today — not on Friday's status call.

Blocker visibility
Unblock every delay before impact.
Capture blockers the moment they surface, assign ownership, and watch how long they've been open. Nothing hidden.
Reduce the time your team stay blocked to maintain your deadlines.
03
Risk tracking
Flag it once it's raised and before it lands.
Log risks relationally — attached to the milestone they threaten, not just today's date. See what's creeping toward your critical path.
Log the early risk warning signs to protect your critical path.
04
Session ingestion
Meetings become structured outputs.
Open a session before you walk in. Log decisions, risks, and actions as they happen. Walk out with everything connected and logged accountability.
Full accountability logging from each meeting with auto-linking to milestones.
05
Stakeholder map
Know who needs attention.
Track every stakeholder by influence and involvement. Link them to open decisions and blockers, and send automated nudges when a decision is holding things up.
Manage the soft signals across your team and raise flags early.
06
Timeline + history
The full story, always searchable.
Every decision, risk, and update lives in chronological context. New to the project? You're up to speed in five minutes.
Maintain the full, defendable thread of why your project is where it is today.
Meeting transcripts & Slack integration
Capture happens where the conversation already is
1Connect workspace
Delivery-critical context gets discussed in Slack more than anywhere else. With the Causr Slack app, send any crucial context straight into your timeline and connect it to the milestone it affects. All in 15 seconds. No tab switching, no context lost.
Transcript ingest
Drop in meeting notes or a transcript. Causr AI pulls out the risks, blockers and decisions buried inside, and attaches each one to the milestone it threatens. Full manual control for governance.
A RAID log records what exists. Causr shows what it's doing to your deadline.

Causr FAQs
What is Causr?
Causr helps project managers track risks, blockers, decisions and updates against the milestones they affect. Instead of storing project information in separate RAID logs, spreadsheets and meeting notes, Causr connects everything in one place.
Is Causr a project management tool?
No. Causr isn't designed to replace your project plan, Gantt chart, Jira board or task management software. It sits alongside them, helping you track the conversations, decisions and risks that influence delivery.
How is Causr different from a RAID log?
A RAID log records information. Causr connects information. In a traditional RAID log, a risk exists as a row in a spreadsheet. In Causr, that same risk is connected to the milestone it threatens, the owner responsible for it, and any related decisions, blockers or updates. You spend less time maintaining documentation and more time managing delivery.
Why not just use Excel?
Most project teams already use spreadsheets to manage risks and decisions. The challenge isn't recording information, it's understanding the impact of that information. Causr is your total visual view of your milestones and what is likely to damage them.
What types of projects is Causr designed for?
Causr works best on projects where communication, stakeholder management and delivery risk play a significant role. Software delivery; Digital transformation; Infrastructure projects; Capital projects; PMO-led programmes; Internal business change initiatives
Who is Causr for?
Causr is designed for: Project Managers; Programme Managers; PMOs; Delivery Managers; Transformation Leads; Project Consultants; Anyone responsible for keeping delivery moving and maintaining stakeholder visibility
Why was Causr created?
Most project teams already have tools for tasks, schedules and reporting. What they often lack is a dedicated place to manage the risks, blockers, decisions and conversations that ultimately determine whether delivery succeeds or fails. Causr was built to close that gap.
How does Causr help during meetings?
Many project decisions are made in meetings but never properly tracked afterwards. Causr allows teams to capture risks, blockers, decisions and updates as they happen, creating a live project record rather than relying on separate meeting notes, RAID logs and action trackers.
Can I see everything in a traditional list view?
Yes. Alongside the Impact Graph, Causr includes list-based views that allow you to review risks, blockers and decisions by milestone, severity, owner or status.
What happens when a risk changes?
Every item in Causr can be updated over time. Instead of replacing previous information, Causr creates an activity history so you can understand how risks, decisions and blockers evolved throughout the project lifecycle.
Can I track ownership and accountability?
Yes. Every item can be assigned to an owner, linked to milestones and reviewed over time. This makes it easier to identify who is responsible for resolving blockers, mitigating risks or implementing decisions.
Can I connect decisions, blockers and risks together?
Yes. One of Causr's core strengths is relational tracking. A blocker can be linked to a decision, a decision can influence multiple milestones, and a risk can be connected to the outcome it threatens.
Do I need to recreate my project plan?
No. Causr is not intended to replace your project schedule. Most teams continue to manage timelines in tools such as Microsoft Project, Primavera, Jira, Smartsheet or Monday.com. Causr focuses on the risks, blockers, decisions and stakeholder activity surrounding those plans.
Does Causr integrate with Slack?
Slack integration is currently in development. The V1 application can be installed from within the Causr app, and your account can be connected. The goal is to allow project teams to capture risks, blockers and decisions directly from Slack conversations and send them into Causr without interrupting their workflow.
Does Causr replace Jira?
No. Jira is excellent at managing work. Causr is focused on the conversations, decisions, risks and stakeholder activity that sit around that work. Many teams use both together.
Is my project data secure?
Project data is stored securely in the cloud and access is restricted to authorised users within your workspace. As the platform develops, additional security features, integrations and enterprise controls will continue to be introduced based on customer requirements.
