PRINCE2 PROJECT ISSUE REPORTS
WHAT ARE THEY ?
A document which is used to inform the Project Manager of an issue which affects the project. Anyone can use a Project Issue Report to bring an issue to the attention of the Project Manager and his team.
No matter how much planning and control is used in a project, there are always issues which arise that need to be dealt with e.g. suggestions for improving the project, additional information that may be useful, or products that are not performing as expected. All such issues are dealt with by the Project Issue Report (PIR) procedure.
WHAT IS THIS PROCEDURE?
A project issue is recorded on a Product Issue Report form and logged. The Project Assurance Function is used to assess the urgency of the issue and identify what has to be done, its impact and the cost. Significant issues require approval by the Project Board. Any necessary work is commissioned and following completion and a Quality Review, the issue is closed. The originator of the issue is kept informed of progress.

This is a series of coaching blogs that eventually will become a book.

All comments and feedback are therefore welcome.
