ABSTRACT
In some projects, a documentation review is seen as an opportunity to infer information that otherwise does not exist about a project. In other projects, however, it is a sincere effort to ensure that the natural risks inherent in any given activity are identified, no matter where they are embedded within the project. Documentation reviews allow for thorough and consistent analysis of the breadth of support documentation in the project, ranging from the statement of work to the work breakdown structure to the project charter. Essentially, any project documentation may reflect an element of risk and should be reviewed as a simple best-practice evaluation of the project in its entirety.
