C. Risk register

C. Risk register Explanation: The risk register is the appropriate document for recording concerns that might turn into potential issues.

Risks are documented in the Risk Register for what could happen. Issues are recorded in the Issue Log for what is or did happen. Risks have a probability of occurrence rating; issues do not because they did happen or are occurring.

Recording the concern in the Risk Register (Option C) is indeed a valid approach in this context. The Risk Register is used to document and track potential risks that might impact the project. In this case, the concern raised by the operations group about the fish hatchery construction, although not yet a realized issue, represents a potential risk to the project and should be documented for proactive management. This allows for risk assessment, planning of mitigation strategies, and monitoring, which are essential components of effective risk management.

A concern that could become an issue is a risk. As we couldnt address the risk now, we have to add it in the risk log and think of a mitigation strategy.

The concern that could not be immediately addressed but has the potential to become an issue should be documented in the Issue Log.

Select D "since the concern could not be addressed" wouldn't this be an issue now?
