(1) An area of concern that may impact the achievement of program/organizational objectives – a problem (existing), a risk (future uncertainty), or lack of information (existing). (PSM May 7, 2010; ISO/IEC/IEEE 2007)

(2) A concern that has a probability of occurrence equal to one, a consequence of occurrence greater than zero, and a time-frame in the future. An issue will occur and have a negative impact to the project, but it will not immediately occur. (Conrow 2008)
