Abstract
Project management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources so that a project is completed within defined cost, quality, scope & time constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time undertaking to create a product or service which provides beneficial change or added value.
The responsible person to organize and to control a project is called project manager. There are some organizations which train necessary and useful project management skills. See, for example (external link!):

“The most successful people are those who are good at plan B.” [James Yorke]
Logfiles support a project manager at his day-to-day routine to coordinate and to control a project:
Daily Log - diary to record actions or significant events not stored elsewhere
Issue Log - record and track project issues
Lessons Learned Log - store good and bad experience with methods and products
Quality Log - record checks and sign-offs of quality evaluations
Risk Log - record and monitor identified project risks
