# Add actions for a project

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 them, add an action to resolve the risk or issue.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Project** > **Projects** > **All**.

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/project-management/ridac-forms.md).

5.  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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/project-management/convert-ridac-for-project.md).
-   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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/project-management/reassociate-ridac-project.md).
