Explanation

An issue log is a document that records and tracks any issues that arise during a project and how they are resolved. It is different from a risk register, which records and tracks potential risks that may or may not occur during a project. When a risk becomes an issue, it means that it has occurred and has a negative impact on the project. Therefore, the project manager should update the issue log next to document the compliance issue, its cause, its impact, its priority, its owner, and its resolution status. Updating the issue log will help the project manager communicate the issue to the stakeholders, monitor the progress of the mitigation plan, and prevent similar issues from happening again.
