PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which register is used to record all issues that are raised during the project?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the confusion between the Issue Register and the Risk Register, with candidates incorrectly selecting Risk Register when asked about recording all issues.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Issue Register
The Issue Register is used to record all issues raised during a project. In PRINCE2, issues include Requests for Change, Off-specifications, and general problems or concerns. The Issue Register is maintained by the Project Manager and captures details, actions, and status of each issue.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Risk Register
Why it's wrong here
The Risk Register holds uncertainties and their responses, not issues that have already occurred. It is tempting because risks and issues share similar assessment fields and owners, and would be correct when logging a potential future threat rather than a current problem requiring resolution.
- ✗
Quality Register
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Register records quality activities, tests and their results, not project issues. It is tempting because quality records also capture problems and follow-up actions, and would be correct when documenting planned quality checks and their outcomes rather than issues needing management action.
- ✗
Configuration Item Records
Why it's wrong here
Configuration Item Records track products, components and their versions and status, not the issues raised against them. It is tempting because configuration management does capture change and status information, and would be correct when recording the composition and version baseline of a delivered product.
- ✓
Issue Register
Why this is correct
The Issue Register captures every issue raised during the project, recording details, severity, priority, and status for each. PRINCE2 mandates it as the central log satisfying the stem's requirement to record all issues, unlike the Risk Register, which handles uncertainties rather than problems already occurring.
