What is an Issue?

An Issue is a red flag in project management that indicates that things isn’t going as planned or intended, akin to recognizing a problem during a game that requires quick attention. It is an unanticipated difficulty or worry that develops throughout the project and has the potential to impair its progress, timetable, or work quality. Issues might range from little inconveniences to major difficulties that need rapid action to fix. They vary from hazards in that they occur today and require attention to prevent them from growing into larger issues. Identifying and addressing difficulties as soon as they arise helps to keep the project on track and guarantees that problems do not derail its success.
