PMP Managing Project Issues

Project issues are current problems that need visible ownership and timely action. This section focuses on diagnosing impact, assigning response paths, tracking resolution, and escalating only when local control is no longer enough.

The lesson pages below focus on what happens after a problem is real. They cover how to distinguish issues from still-hypothetical risks, assign the right response path, keep the issue log useful, collaborate on resolution, and use corrective action or root-cause work when the same issue pattern keeps recurring.

The better PMP answer usually keeps ownership and timing explicit. Once a problem is current, the project manager needs a visible response path, practical action, and escalation only when local authority is no longer enough to resolve it.
