Capturing the Initial Attributes for the Concern

1. Enter the critical attributes to reflect the initial state of the Concern • The Description repeats the source information for context then clearly states the problem • Importance reflects the severity • Status indicates where this concern is in its lifecycle • Assumptions reflects any assumptions made about the problem or solution (team members may challenge these now or in the future) • Alternatives reflects the possible resolutions considered (helping to avoid rework in the future if this question is revisited)
