WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGMENT, AND WHY DO IT ?

Project documentation covers documents created during an execution of a project and for the project itself.           

  • Documentation stimulates and structures critical thinking in planning the project’s goals, risks, and constraints. The document is the evidence and chronicle of this critical thinking.
  • It provides memory containers for managing a level of detail that cannot be kept in one’s head. This includes every small detail that is easily overlooked during day-to-day project work, as well as the larger things that are easily remembered, but potentially lost or forgotten due to the passage of time or critical personnel changes.
  • It keeps the team and other stakeholders synced up and informed about project changes, issues, and progress.
