Add actions that are required for resolving an issue or risk for a project. You can
also convert a risk, issue, or decision to an action based on your analysis and plan for
resolution of a risk or issue.

## Before you begin

Role required: it_project_manager

## About this task

After analyzing the risks and issues and taking a decision on how to manage those
risks and issues, add an action for resolving the risk or issue to a project.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllProjectProjectsAll.
2. Select the project to which you want to add an action.
3. From the Actions related list, select New.
4. On the Action form, fill in the fields.  
   For more information, see [RIDAC form fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NZ7fS4IO3diiF8H8z~VP7w "Learn about the fields of the RIDAC form.").
5. **Optional:** If the action requires approval from other stakeholders, request approval with a due date using the Approval and Due date fields.
6. Select Submit.

## What to do next

* Convert an action to a request change and close the action. For more information, see [Convert RIDAC records for a project](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/t19IDpERSN25k6QwYbYckg "Convert one RIDAC record (risk, issue, action, decision, and request changes) to another, in that order, to retain the record information instead of having to create a new record manually and to more easily track the issue.").
* Associate the action with your existing risk, issue, and decision records so you can track dependencies and recognize trends for future. For more information, see [Associate existing RIDAC records for a project](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/v8~Ux~9IqVG9IrU9ido8iQ "Link existing RIDAC records (risks, issues, actions, decisions, and request changes) to one another for your project. Associating RIDAC records with each other enables you to keep a record of risks or issues and their outcome for analysis at project closure and planning. It also helps to track the risks and issues throughout the project life cycle.").
