The very essence of project management is about guiding your project through the tricky waters of risks and issues that do arise, to dock safely at port. In the same way you can’t steer a ship through merky/shallow waters without a map, you can not expect to be in control of a project without a Risk or Issues Log - no matter what the size of your project.

For my opening gambit on Project Management within this blog I shall write a short series of articles focussed solely on the Issue Log and Risk Log. My reference is from two sources: Prince2 and experience. The first article on the Issue Log should be up here by the end of the weekend.
