Issue and Risk Management - How to effectively manage the
difficult messages
By Kimberly Lesley, PMP
Why bother having a formal issue management process – doesn’t
everyone know what the issues are and we are all working
towards resolving them – right?
This is not an uncommon approach to handling issues when
dealing with projects. Many project managers are deemed
unsuccessful, even if the project is delivered on time and on
budget because they failed to recognize the value of effective
issue management. This part of the discussion will focus on
proper identification of issues, how to utilize issue tracking
tools to facilitate discussions and decision making, how to
encourage team members to raise issues and how to effectively
have the difficult discussions on projects that often are
avoided.....
