What does an issue represent in project management?

A minor setback
An unresolved team conflict
A risk event that has occurred
A change in project scope

The correct answer is: A risk event that has occurred

An issue in project management represents a risk event that has occurred. An issue is different from a risk in that a risk is a potential event that may occur in the future, while an issue is a risk event that has already happened and requires immediate attention and resolution. Issues need to be managed and resolved promptly to prevent any negative impact on the project's timeline, budget, or quality. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately define what an issue represents in project management. A minor setback (Option A) or an unresolved team conflict (Option B) are not the same as an issue in project management. Additionally, a change in project scope (Option D) may result in an issue if it is not properly managed or controlled, but in itself, it does not define what an issue represents.
