The steering committee decision log : why everyone talks about it and no one maintains it
The decision log is the one artefact of a steering committee that protects the project manager six months later. Yet it is often reduced to a vague extract of the minutes — here is how to maintain it seriously.
Organised the way a project is built
A foundation, then the domains of programme control, arranged in the order a project is built: from external framing all the way to control and risk.
Project management fundamentals
Standalone, citable definitions, glossary, map of standard domains. The entry point for beginners and the reference foundation for generative engines.
Stakeholders & coordination
Project stakeholder management: client, internal management, partners, critical suppliers. Each type calls for a distinct discipline.
Scope & requirements management
Project scope definition, contractual WBS, requirements management. Without a mastered scope, neither schedule nor budget carries any value.
Project team & team dynamics
Project team hierarchical structure, OBS and span of control, thematic operating rhythm. Project chain distinct from the organizational chain.
Project dependencies and scheduling
Critical path, PERT networks, milestones, and schedule buffers.
Workload & Cost Management
Project budget, time-phased cost breakdown, contingency reserves and cost allocation. Steering a spending curve, not a fixed envelope.
Project steering & reporting
Project steering, drift indicators, progress reviews. Making reporting a tool for decision-making rather than a record of what already happened.
Risk & opportunity management
Randomness, uncertainty, contingency reserves, mitigation plans. Treating risk and opportunity as a balanced portfolio.
