Quick Answer
The answer is the Issue Register. In PRINCE2, this register is the definitive log for recording all issues raised during a project, which includes requests for change, off-specifications, and problems or concerns. Unlike the Risk Register, which captures uncertain events that could impact objectives, the Issue Register deals with events that have already occurred and require a management decision. On the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, this distinction is frequently tested to ensure you understand the separation between risks and issues; a common trap is confusing the Issue Register with the Quality Register, which tracks quality inspections and audits, or with Configuration Item Records, which manage product versions. To remember this, think of an issue as a “problem that has arrived,” so it needs its own dedicated register to track the resolution, while risks are still “on the horizon.”
This PRINCE2F practice question tests your understanding of prince2 practices. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which register is used to record all issues that are raised during the project?
Risk Register
Why wrong: The Risk Register records risks, not issues.
Quality Register
Why wrong: The Quality Register records quality activities and results.
Configuration Item Records
Why wrong: Configuration Item Records track the status and version of products, not issues.
Issue Register
The Issue Register is the correct register for recording all types of issues.

Correct answer & explanation
Issue Register
Option C is correct. The Issue Register records all issues, including requests for change, off-specifications, and problems/concerns. Option A is incorrect because the Risk Register records risks. Option B is incorrect because the Quality Register records quality activities. Option D is incorrect because the Configuration Item Records track configuration items, not issues.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
