PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which register is used to record issues that may affect the project's baselines?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between registers that record proactive management products (Risk Register for uncertainties, Quality Register for checks) versus the Issue Register, which is specifically for reactive events that have already occurred and may impact baselines.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Issue Register
The Issue Register is the PRINCE2 management product used to capture and manage issues that may affect the project's baselines, such as scope, schedule, or cost. Baselines are formally approved versions of management products, and any proposed change, off-specification, or problem/concern that could impact them must be logged in the Issue Register for assessment and decision-making.
