Quick Definition

| Change Log | Tracks all approved and rejected change requests |
| Issue Log | Records problems or concerns that need resolution |
Common Exam Trap
A stakeholder complains about new requirements not being delivered — what should the PM do?
✅ Record it as an issue, not a change request (yet).
If analysis shows scope change → then raise a CR.
Flow in PMP Terms
- Issue detected → logged in Issue Log
- Analysis shows change needed → submit Change Request
- If approved → update Change Log
