You have been assigned as the Project Manager for a new project that involves building of a new roadway between the city airport to a designated point within the city. However, you notice that the transportation permit issuing authority is taking longer than the planned time to issue the permit to begin construction. What would you classify this as?

  • B. Status Update
  • C. Risk Update
  • D. Project Issue
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
This is a project issue. It is easy to confuse this as a project risk; however, a project risk is always in the future. In this case, the delay by the permitting agency has already happened; hence this is a project issue. The possible impact of this delay on the project cost, schedule, or performance can be classified as a project risk.
Incorrect Answers:
A: It is easy to confuse this as a project risk; however, a project risk is always in the future. In this case, the delay by the permitting agency has already happened; hence this is a project issue.
B, C: These are options are not valid.

D. Project Issue A project issue is an event or condition that has already happened and is negatively affecting the project's objectives. In this case, the delay in issuing the permit is an existing problem that is impacting the project's timeline.

Not sure I understand or agree with this explanation. When a risk happened we take risk response actions e.g. mitigate, accept etc, and the scenario in this question fits the risk criteria, so why it can’t be classified as Project Risk?

In my opinion, the delay to the start (of this stage) of the project is an Issue because it has already occurred. However, the delay issue also poses follow-on risks of delays to future stages and completion of the project, and cost overruns.
