Issues and Options Documents

Issues and Options Documents are tools used in decision-making processes, often in government and planning. They identify key topics or problems (issues) that need attention and outline possible ways (options) to address them. These documents help stakeholders understand the background, explore different approaches, and consider the benefits and drawbacks of each option. They serve as a foundation for discussions, feedback, and ultimately, selecting the most suitable course of action. Think of them as detailed summaries that clarify what needs to be decided and the different paths available.
