Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Issue log
Explanation
An issue log is a project document used to record, track, and manage issues that arise during the project. It captures the description, priority, owner, target resolution date, and status of each issue, ensuring problems are not overlooked.
**Why not B:** A change log records approved and rejected change requests throughout the project. While both track project information, the change log focuses on scope, schedule, and cost changes, not on documenting and tracking recurring problems with assigned owners and resolution status.
**Why not C:** A lessons learned register captures insights and knowledge gained during the project for future reference. It documents what went well and what could be improved, but it is not designed to actively track the status, ownership, and resolution of current recurring issues.
**Why not D:** A risk register documents identified risks with their probability, impact, and planned response strategies. Risks are uncertain future events, while the document described tracks current, existing problems that are actively being managed and resolved.
