Issue Log Template

Why use our Issue Log Template?

All projects have unforeseen issues that impact the project at some point. If idenfitied early and built into your plan, most issues can be dealt with and overcome. Even if you encounter a issue which may end your project, you are better off telling everyone early and often. Ignoring issues can be fatal to both your project and your career.

Our Issue Log Template is designed to help you quantify and track project issues. With each issue, you'll record a description of the issue, along with the impact and status.

Tracking project issues is only half the battle. Our Issue Log Template also helps you track a mitigation plan for each issue, and who is assigned to resolve the issue. By tracking which issues are still open and who is assigned to each, you can ensure none are lost or forgotten about.

Features of our Issue Log Template:

• Excel based spreadsheet for quick and easy data entry
• Drop-down lists for setting Impact and Status
• Built-in graphs for a quick visual status of your open issues
• Microsoft Office 2010, 2007, 2003, and 2000 compatible
