The correct answer is C . The purpose of capture issues and risks is not merely to record information. Newly identified concerns must be considered sufficiently to determine their nature, significance, and appropriate treatment. An informal concern can subsequently prove to be a material issue or risk affecting project objectives, stakeholders, regulatory obligations, cost, schedule, or reputation.

The possibility that completed foundations have altered rainwater flow onto neighbouring property has potentially significant consequences. Planning approval does not demonstrate that this newly identified condition is harmless. The project manager should therefore assess the concern before deciding whether it can be handled informally, requires formal entry in the issue or risk register, needs specialist investigation, or demands escalation or corrective action.

Option A incorrectly treats recording as equivalent to management. A log entry provides traceability but does not establish whether further action is required. Option B similarly conflicts with effective issue and risk management because an informal route does not exempt a concern from proportionate assessment. Option D is incorrect because potentially significant matters should be raised when identified; the team manager is not required to wait for the next scheduled checkpoint report.

The essential PRINCE2 control is to capture, assess, and determine an appropriate response , rather than dismissing uncertainty solely because existing approval had previously been obtained.

PRINCE2 7 reference topics: Controlling a stage; capture issues and risks; project log; issue assessment; risk assessment; corrective action.
