The system is entirely documented within the context of the project management plan and it will vary depending on the area of application, any preexisting organizational influence, and availability of any particular existing systems. This project management system can be formal or informal and is of particular assistance in helping the project manager complete the project. The project management system in general is the set of processes as well as control functions and related monitoring that can be grouped together into a unified whole.
