About the Issue Report template
An Issue Report documents a problem, query, or concern that has already occurred and needs a management decision or corrective action to keep the project on track. Unlike a risk, an issue is not a possibility but a current fact that affects scope, schedule, cost, or quality. Logging it formally ensures accountability, traceability, and a clear path to resolution.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.
When to use a Issue Report
- βΈA supplier misses a delivery date and blocks dependent tasks
- βΈA requirement conflict or off-specification surfaces during a stage review
- βΈA team member raises a change request or formal complaint that needs escalation
- βΈA defect, resource gap, or budget overrun requires a decision from the project board

Tips & common mistakes
- π‘Separate the symptom from the root cause before assigning actions, or you will fix the wrong thing.
- π‘Set severity and owner at the moment of logging; unassigned issues drift and reopen later.
- π‘Link the issue to the affected work package or change request so impact is traceable.

FAQ
What is the difference between an issue and a risk?οΌ
A risk is an uncertain event that may happen in the future, while an issue is a problem that has already materialised and needs action now. Risks are managed in a risk register; issues are captured and resolved through an issue report or log.
Who is responsible for resolving an issue?οΌ
The project manager assigns an issue owner responsible for driving resolution, but decisions that exceed the manager's tolerance are escalated to the project board or sponsor.
How do you prioritise issues in a report?οΌ
Score each issue by severity and impact on scope, cost, time, and quality, then rank by urgency so the team addresses blockers and high-impact problems first.
