Campaign Risk & Issue Log Form

A campaign risk and issue log template — log a risk or issue on a live campaign, with its likelihood, impact, mitigation and owner.

Description

Risks you’ve named are far easier to manage than the ones that ambush you. This campaign risk and issue log form captures risks and issues on a live campaign, so they’re tracked and owned rather than hoped away.

You record whether it’s a risk or an issue, the area affected, and a description, then rate the likelihood and the impact if it happens. It captures the mitigation or fix, who owns resolving it, when it needs resolving by, and whether it needs escalating now.

Use it throughout a campaign to keep a running log of what could go wrong and what already has. A shared log means nothing slips through the cracks. Customize the fields, add your branding, and embed it or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Campaign Risk & Issue Log Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a campaign risk and issue log?

A campaign risk and issue log is a running record of what could go wrong on a campaign, and what already has. Capturing each with an owner and a fix means problems get managed deliberately, rather than being noticed too late or forgotten.

What should a risk and issue log include?

This form captures whether it’s a risk or an issue, the area affected, a description, the likelihood and impact, the mitigation or fix, who owns resolving it, when it needs resolving by, and whether it needs escalating now.

When should you log a campaign risk?

As soon as you spot it — a risk before it happens, an issue the moment it does. Logging early, while there’s still time to act, is the whole point; a risk recorded after it’s already caused damage is just a note for the post-mortem.

Who owns campaign risks and issues?

The form asks for an owner on every entry, because a risk without one tends to sit unmanaged. Naming who’s responsible for each mitigation or fix means someone is actively working it, and the campaign lead can see at a glance where things stand.

What’s the difference between a risk and an issue?

A risk is something that might happen; an issue is something that already has. The form handles both, because they need different responses — a risk needs mitigating before it lands, while an issue needs fixing now — but both belong in one shared log.

Is this risk and issue log template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Add or remove fields, adjust the categories to fit your campaigns, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect entries.
