When managing a project, you will need to deal with issues which will come up. These issues can originate from anywhere such while performing a visual inspection in a model viewer like BIMcollab ZOOM or a clash detected using a model checker such as Navisworks or Solibri. You will need a way to make sure that each of these issues has been assigned, has been addressed and when necessary solved. 

Is this the most recent list? Have all issues been identified and followed up on? Has another clash been run? Has the status changed?
