Issue Log

Issues that come up after the charter has been approved should be added below and reviewed for impact on cost, scope, and alignment to the original project requirements. Each issue should be addressed, either through a short explanation of why it does not need to be acted on or an explanation of how it will be resolved.

• There is general confusion among stakeholders regarding their level of decision-making power, involvement, and scheduling of major project milestones.
• A stakeholder has recommended a change from the existing product packaging to a shiny foil packaging for aesthetic reasons, and they have asked for this be built into the process workflow documents.
• The procurement department wants to triple the project budget to allocate more funds to researching, testing, and finding a new supplier for compostable packaging materials.

Analyze all entries in the Issue Log from the perspective of a project manager and explain the recommended course of action based on the project charter, noting the impact of the issue on scope, planning communications, and resourcing.
