Audit Trail

An Audit Trail in project management is a record of all activities, decisions, and changes made during the project lifecycle. It provides transparency, accountability, and traceability of the project’s history, ensuring that any changes or discrepancies can be reviewed and explained. Audit trails are essential for compliance, quality control, and post-project analysis. 

These terms are critical in understanding various aspects of project management, especially as they relate to planning, execution, and risk management.
