CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What should be included in the components of issue logs?

1. Color coding by department

2. Photos of the responsible persons

3. Issue description and responsible person

4. Social media profiles of initiators

The correct answer is: Issue description and responsible person

In project management, issue logs are tools used to document and track issues or problems that arise during the course of a project. The components of an issue log typically include details such as the issue description, its impact, priority level, status, target resolution date, and most importantly, the responsible person or team assigned to address the issue. Option A, color coding by department, may be visually appealing, but it is not a standard component of issue logs. Option B, photos of the responsible persons, may not be necessary for tracking and resolving issues and could potentially compromise privacy. Option D, social media profiles of initiators, is not relevant to the purpose of an issue log. Therefore, the correct answer is option C because it aligns with the standard practice of including the issue description and the responsible person in the components of issue logs.
