During an audit, a project manager finds out that a contractor exceeded the overtime hours allowed by the contract. Which of the following tools should the PM use to share the details with the managem

A time-tracking log records hours but is the source of the information, not the primary tool for communicating and managing the identified problem to management.

An issue log is a project management tool used to document, track, and manage all issues that arise during a project's lifecycle. A contractor exceeding allowed overtime hours is a current problem or deviation from the plan/contract that requires resolution, making the issue log the appropriate tool for sharing these details with management.

A Statement of Work (SOW) defines the project scope and deliverables and is a contractual document, not a tool for tracking and communicating deviations or problems.

A risk register documents potential future events, whereas the contractor exceeding hours is an actual event (an issue) that has already occurred.
