Why each option
An issues log should document key details about problems encountered, including a clear description of the issue and the date it was officially submitted.
A description of the issue is crucial for understanding the problem, its nature, and its potential impact, enabling effective tracking and resolution.
While an issue might eventually have a cost impact, 'the cost of the issue' itself is typically an outcome or an estimated impact, not a primary, inherent piece of information to be included as a core field when initially logging an issue.
An issues log is distinct from a risk log; while issues can arise from risks, the risk log itself is a separate document for managing potential future events.
Recording the date the issue was submitted provides a clear timestamp, which is essential for tracking resolution timelines, prioritizing issues, and auditing the project's progress.
The work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of project deliverables and tasks, not a component to be directly included within an issues log.
