Full set: 75 questions
Answer options
A: Date issue was raised
B: Description of issue
C: How issues will be identified, captured and assessed Correct answer
D: Categorization of issue
Correct Answer:
C. How issues will be identified, captured and assessed
Explanation

The Issue Register records the details of each individual issue (e.g., when it was raised, what it is, and its agreed categorization). It does not contain the procedural rules for issue management. Those rules—“how issues will be identified, captured and assessed”—are defined in the Issues Management Approach, not the register itself. Therefore option C is the only item that will not appear in an Issue Register.

Why Incorrect

A. Date issue was raised – A mandatory field in the register to track when the issue emerged.
B. Description of issue – Core information required for understanding and analysing the issue.
D. Categorization of issue – The register records the agreed category/type to aid analysis and reporting.
