Risks

All risks will be logged on the project website/risk log and will be scored (in keeping with existing practice) on a 1 to 4 basis in terms of probability and impact (1-unlikely to 4- almost certain/1-low to 4-critical). The risk register will be reviewed regularly, owners will be asked if the risk has changed, for progress against any required mitigation activity and should risk tolerance be breached it will be escalated to the Project Board.  

Issues

All issues which materialise, or any other event that has a less than trivial impact on the execution of the project will be logged an issue on the project website/issue register. Ownership will be assigned and analysis with recommended options/recommended actions detailed. Issues will also be reviewed regularly and escalated should the impact be deemed significant enough for Project Board action. The project manager will ensure all changes to cost/timeline/scope must be recorded in the issue log, and reflected in milestone long, budget and estimations, and the project Scope Change log.
