Risks, Issues, and Document management are features bundled with Project
Server 2003 through Windows SharePoint Services (WSS). If this solution is
not appropriate for your situation, then you will need to use a manual
method of tracking issues or risks for your projects. One approach might be
to create an Issues template and a Risks template in Word and then
distribute them to your project team members. Ask them to use one of these
forms whenever they have an issue or risk they want to log and track with
the project. You might also want to create a shared folder somewhere on
your network where team members can save risk or issues documents. To
submit a risk or issue to you, they should create a document from the
appropriate template and then save the document in the shared folder. They
should also send an e-mail to you and other impacted team members about the
new risk or issue. Please understand that this is a manual method, which
may seem a bit cumbersome to you. However, without using Project Server,
you cannot have the automated approach to tracking risks and issues. Hope
this helps.
