Common use of Issue Log Clause in Contracts

Issue Log. This is a living document in which project team members may enter an issue and a proposed resolution. The project manager reviews and refines the issues log weekly and includes it as backup to the 4-Up report. It may contain additional information related to the issue or proposed resolution, identify the person assigned to that issue, and give the status (e.g., approved by the AC Steering Committee) and the impact to the overall plan if any.  Change Requests – This centralized document tracks suggestions for improvement. It captures the owner of the change request and the category, priority, and business case to accomplish it. It also captures the status of the change request. Vendor and County leaders may jointly determine that the change request cannot be cost justified, in which case it may be cancelled with no further action.  Walkthrough and Approval Sheets – These items provide the required discipline to make sure that project deliverables are progressing. The walkthrough and approval sheets represent that the County and Vendor stakeholders are collaborating to review, refine, and approve key artifacts from the ATS re-platform project. The Approval Sheet summarizes the participants, topic, documentation by title, and disposition of each review (for example, accepted with changes). Deliverable walkthrough rigor enables the project to stay on track and gives the County confidence that Vendor are progressing toward Vendor’s objective.  Work Plan and Schedule – Vendor will use MS Project as the automated project management tool for many of these Project Management artifacts. The most important of these is the ATS re-platform project work plan and schedule. Vendor will baseline this plan at a number of points during the project. Vendor has created the initial work plan for the ATS re-platform proposal. This plan will be refined after the Assessment and as needed, taking into consideration findings about the scope, approach, County participation, and target dates. The Vendor project manager will enter time and other information weekly and publish a new plan so all participants and stakeholders know where are and where we need to go.
