Proactive Risk Communicator

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Assess product risks and generate stakeholder communications before issues become crises. Prioritizes risks as HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW, drafts escalation messages, and recommends monitoring approaches.

What You Get

Stop agonizing over which risks to escalate and how to phrase them. Get ready-to-send stakeholder communications with appropriate urgency calibration and timing recommendations.

The Problem

Product managers constantly track multiple risks but struggle with deciding which to communicate immediately vs. include in updates vs. monitor quietly. Escalating everything creates alarm fatigue, while under-communicating blindsides stakeholders. Drafting politically sensitive communications about risks is time-consuming and stressful.

The Solution

Analyze your risk list against prioritization criteria (financial impact, talent retention, customer relationships, dependencies, legal exposure). Categorize each as HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW priority with clear reasoning. Generate draft communications appropriate for each level - immediate escalation messages for critical items, status update language for medium concerns, and monitoring recommendations for lower-priority risks. Include a communication timeline showing what to address now, this week, and later.

How It Works

  1. 1 Analyze each risk for impact, urgency, confidence level, and stakeholder relevance
  2. 2 Categorize risks into HIGH (immediate), MEDIUM (weekly update), or LOW (monitor) priority
  3. 3 Draft ready-to-send communications for HIGH priority items with clear asks and next steps
  4. 4 Create status update language for MEDIUM priority items to include in regular reports
  5. 5 Recommend monitoring approach for LOW priority items with escalation triggers
  6. 6 Organize everything into a communication timeline with specific timing guidance

What You'll Need

  • List of risks you're currently tracking (any format)
  • Context about upcoming deadlines, meetings, or stakeholder dynamics
