Project Manager Issues

Raise Issue

To initiate an issue process, you should first allow any member of the team to raise a project-related issue. The person raising the issue is called the ‘Issue Originator’. The Issue Originator identifies an issue applicable to a particular aspect of the project and completes an Issue Form to be sent to the Project Manager.

Register Issue

The Project Manager reviews all issues raised using Project Management Templates and determines whether or not each issue is applicable to the project. This decision is based upon whether or not the issue impacts on:

- A deliverable specified in the Deliverables Register
- The quality targets specified in the Quality Plan
- The timeframes specified in the Project Plan
– The resource targets specified in the Resource Plan
- The financial targets specified in the Financial Plan.

If the issue is considered by the Project Manager to be valid, then the issue is documented in the Issue Register and an issue number assigned. The Project Manager will assign an issue ‘priority’ based upon the level of impact of the issue to the project.
