Problem: The formulation and use of project planning documents, including the project charter, work breakdown structure, and linear responsibility matrix, can have long lasting implications through the life of a project. And yet, many projects are run without these project planning documents. Discuss the drawbacks of implementing a project without these documents. What are the potential ramifications of not utilizing a linear responsibility matrix or a WBS?
We have a Project Charter, a WBS, and a Linear Responsibility Matrix for our project. Do we really need all three documents? Is this over-kill, is this the only way to ensure a successful project, or should it be project-dependent?
