Episode 70 — Issue vs. Risk: Boundaries and Hand-Offs

Understanding where a risk ends and an issue begins is vital to governance control. This episode clarifies that a risk is an uncertain event that may occur, while an issue is a realized event already affecting objectives. The PMI-RMP exam tests your ability to decide when to escalate a risk into an issue and update the appropriate logs. You will learn to establish clear hand-offs between risk management and issue management, ensuring continuity of evidence, ownership, and lessons learned. Each transition must preserve history: the original trigger, decision records, and response outcomes.

We illustrate the boundary with examples—an approaching vendor delay remains a risk until the delivery date passes unmet, at which point it becomes an issue requiring corrective action. Best practices include documenting the transition, reassigning ownership if necessary, and linking financial or schedule impact back to residual exposure. Troubleshooting guidance covers premature escalation that bypasses contingency steps, ignored risks that evolve into unmanaged issues, and loss of traceability between the two lists. Maintaining clean boundaries reinforces accountability, sharpens governance, and reflects the judgment PMI-RMP practitioners are certified to demonstrate.
