appropriate step to tracking the resolution of this issue?
Transfer the issue to another team
adjust the performance requirements and corrective action plan as warranted
monitor the issue to collect actual versus planned cost, schedule, and performance information
and review the issue at regular meetings
update the course of action in the program's issue tracking register

program
identifies the plan for testing the integrated product team members in RM technique
outlines or risk management organization to the customer
answers why you must execute the risk management process
14.2

You want to analyze your program's contract performance to date. you hope that, by identifying
areas where the, scope, cost and schedule do not meet performance expectations, you can
identify negative Trends and, there, work to prevent risk and issue recurrences. Which tool will
help you perform that analysis?
