The Daily Log gives the project manager a running record of events, decisions, commitments and follow-ups across the life of the project. It is useful as an audit trail, a working memory for the team, and a source for highlight reporting.

Practical use in an ICT project
Example: during a CRM rollout, the PM logs a supplier delay, the agreed mitigation, and the target date for revised test data delivery so the next highlight report is based on facts rather than collective guessing.
