Explanation
According to the PMBOK Guide, the issue log is a project document that records and monitors the resolution of issues that arise during a project. Issues are points or matters in question or in dispute, or that are not settled and are under discussion or over which there are opposing views or disagreements. Issues can be related to any aspect of the project, such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communication, risk, procurement, or stakeholder engagement. The issue log helps the project manager and the project team to track the status of issues, assign responsibilities, establish priorities, and set target dates for resolution. The issue log is updated as new issues are identified and current issues are resolved. The issue log is also a communication tool that informs stakeholders about the issues and how they are being handled. References: PMBOK Guide, 6th edition, pages 89, 123, 558.
