ASIP-VC-30 Paper Trail

A paper trail is another way to refer to a written record. When discussing work or planning a project with colleagues, it's helpful to have a written record of what was verbally discussed. Examples include: a project charter, a formal project plan and/or schedule such as a Gantt chart, or simply a follow-up email to the person with whom you were speaking.
