The Project is controlled by a Project Manager (PM) who must take the Project Charter/SOW an break it down into manageable pieces. For a customer, this means formalizing it into a contract that adds Legal Terms and Conditions (T's & C's). Once the Project Charter (internal customer) or Contract (external customer) is signed, details must be addressed about Finance activities and detailed planning activities.
The three main items include - ThecContract as the top level project defining document - Financial controls for charge codes, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and project charge codes - Project Control documentation
For Project Control, the PM is guided by a Project Plan. The Project Plan is the detailed planning that was described at a high level in the Project Charter or SOW. That plan describes the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the Project.
Major items include: > Organization Chart > Organizational Roles and Responsibilities > Schedules > Communications > Meetings > Status and Issue reporting > Change Control
