Project contexts are always evolving, and along with them, the risks, opportunities, and issues that the project team will need to manage effectively. A project risk is the potential effect of uncertainty on project objectives. A project issue is an unresolved decision, situation, or problem that will significantly impact the project. Project risk registers and issues logs are essential project management tools used to support effective, adaptive project management.

Template 2: Project issues log
The CRS project issues log template helps the project manager/chief of party to document and summarize team analysis of project issues, assign responsibility for actions to promote resolution of the issues, and track issue status.
