OVERVIEW
--------------------
When running a project, especially a large or complex project, there can be several conditions that cause problems for the Project Manager to deal with:
* Many participants with different backgrounds and motives
* Several concurrent activities
* Several issues that arise
* Several decisions that are required
* Lack of overall organization
When these conditions exist on a project, they can cause several problems such as:
* Misunderstood project deliverables
* Project scheduling conflicts or work gaps
* Missed important project deliverables or work
* Lingering project issues
* End product delivery that doesn't match the customer's expectations
As a Project Manager, it's your responsibility to be extremely organized, be detail-oriented, and coordinate the many "moving parts" of the project. For best results, carefully track these 6 types of information for every project:
* Scope / Charter / SoW
* WBS and Project Schedule
* Design Documents
* Change Requests
* Issues and Risks
* Sign-Offs
If you track these six types of information for every project, then you should be able to:
* Have a clear understanding of project deliverables

* Keep better track of project deliverables and work
* Identify and resolve Issues quickly
* Deliver end product that meets customer expectations
