What’s the Difference Between Managing a Risk and Managing an Issue?
Project managers are recognizing the importance of risk management in every phase of a project, but even the best project managers sometimes have to deal with risks that they are unable to avoid. This is where issue management comes in. A significant part of your risk management program should be dedicated to defining the processes you’ll follow if and when certain risks become issues – i.e., defining specific issue management processes. Learn how to identify project risks and issues before they become a major issue by prioritizing, communicating, and building effective team management strategies.
