Issue Log
Track problems that are real but not yet formal incidents or projects.
Operating review
Issue Log should be run as a practical control, not as a ceremonial meeting. The review should produce decisions, assigned follow-up, and evidence that the checked condition is still healthy or being corrected.
- Open the current operating record and confirm the review period.
- Check facts against systems of record instead of relying on memory.
- Record findings, decisions, exceptions, and assigned follow-up.
- Escalate items that exceed threshold, authority, risk, or due date.
- Close the review with a next date and evidence location.
Expected output
A dated operating review record showing findings, decisions, exceptions, owners, and next review point.
Common failure mode
Recording concern without an owner, treatment choice, or review date.
Use notes
| Best trigger | Use when the work repeats, affects others, creates risk, or needs a defensible handoff. |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Keep the shortest record that proves the decision, action, owner, and result. |
| Review point | Review after incidents, repeated confusion, tool changes, ownership changes, or missed expectations. |
