A project manager on a complex project diligently adds new impediments to the issue log as soon as they are identified by the team. However, once an impediment is logged, the project manager does not update the entry again until a team member confirms it has been completely resolved. What is the MOST significant risk of this management approach?
New issues might be overlooked if the log is not reviewed frequently.
The final resolution of the impediment may not be properly documented for future lessons learned.
Stakeholders may not be aware of who is responsible for resolving the issues.
The progress on resolving open issues is not tracked, which could lead to unresolved impediments delaying the project.
The correct answer is that the progress on resolving open issues is not tracked, which could lead to unresolved impediments delaying the project. The issue log is a dynamic tool that should be used to track the status and progress of issues from identification through resolution. By only logging an issue and then closing it, the project manager loses visibility into the ongoing efforts, potential escalations, or changes in priority, which can cause significant delays. While other options represent potential problems, the lack of progress tracking is the most direct and significant risk of the described behavior.
