A project manager is overseeing a construction project. The team uses a shared spreadsheet to track project issues. Recently, the spreadsheet has become cluttered with duplicate entries and outdated information. The project manager wants to implement a more structured approach for issue tracking. The tool must allow team members to submit issues, assign owners, set priorities, and track resolution progress. Additionally, it should generate reports for stakeholders. Which tool should the project manager choose?
