Documentation, or rather documenting, is an important aspect of project management for more than one reason. First of all, accurate and complete documentation is a corner stone of project management. It is the basic mechanism that allows the ability to plan ahead, monitor and evaluate progress and to take action where appropriate. Secondly, documenting the project equals documenting the process. If one of the aims of the project is to transform information contained in historical documents into digital resources, it becomes impossible to establish the relation between these resources and the historical documents without documentation of the transformation process and the often-complex decisions taken during this process. In other words, the provenance of a digital resource delivered by a project may be lost without accurate documentation of the project itself. A third reason for producing complete yet concise project documentation is the need to ensure maximum continuity and minimise disruption when faced with changes in the composition of the project team.
