Why is an issue different from a risk?

if the risk happen and documented then it became an issue

A risk is a potentiality of an event that may affect the course of a project plan, while an issue is a risk that has been realized, although not always.

Because there is enough risk where necessary time and effort and supervision of iron on projects

According to the seriousness of the work being done

T hank you Joefil for your valuable question.

The difference between an issue and a risk is stutus's difference . An issue is the problem which is ctually facing the project ,and the project manager has to find the reasonable response for it to avoid its potential effect upon the project ,while the risk is a probable problem that may face the project in the future so the project  manager must develop risk management plan to respone to its probable potential effect either by accepting, reject ing or mitigating it.

Thank you .

Best regards

Issue is something already happpened (Past )so we must put plans to Solve 

Risk is the ability to make something in Future with the ability to accept all results
