This is the podcast version of my YouTube walkthrough.

In 2025 I launched a comprehensive Udemy course on the topic and you can find it here:

Part 3 is a walkthrough of generating a Risk and Issue Log that you can download and use/abuse at your leisure.

Here's the links to those files as promised:

Google Sheets

Part 1, a more general introduction around risk management in the game industry, can be found here.

Part 2 goes into more detail on actual risk and issue examples.
