Correct answer & explanation
✓
Request for Change
In PRINCE2, an issue is a relevant event that has occurred and requires management attention. A Request for Change (RFC) is a formal proposal for a change to a product, and an Off-specification is a situation where a product does not meet its specification. Both are defined as types of issue in the PRINCE2 framework.
