Issue Log Register
Track project issues, owners, priority and resolution dates.
Issues are the problems happening right now — as opposed to risks, which might happen — and they multiply quietly when they aren't tracked. This free Issue Log gives you one place to record each issue, its owner, priority, status and resolution date, so nothing slips through the cracks and accountability is clear.
How to use it: log each issue as it arises with a clear description and owner, set its priority, and update the status until it's resolved. Review open issues regularly and sort by priority to focus the team on what matters most.
Key features
- Log issues with owner and priority
