Part of successful project management is good planning and tracking of the progress according to plan. We use several instruments in helping to plan and track projects:
- Project charter and general scope statements as contained in NA
- Project team contact database provided
- Issue log
- Work Breakdown Structure
- Project schedule (with tasks, durations, resource requirements and assignments)
- Project budget.
- Project status log (may be linked to schedule, time-logging software, or both)
- Project status reports (for executive management; include schedule and cost status analysis)
- Project communications plan
- Project procurement plan
