Even the most thoughtful plans come up against issues that challenge projects during implementation. It is important to learn how to manage these, to track and monitor how issues are solved, and to adapt your plan so that it reflects the most recent reality.
Issue Logs vary from paper checklists to online databases, depending on the size of the project. They are easy to complete and at a minimum include 1) a reference number, 2) the name of the person reporting the issue, 3) a description of the issue, 4) the date it was reported, 5) the name of the person assigned to deal with it, and 6) a status and resolution column.
