"Why would you keep documentation on the progres made during building the solution"

- so you know how the solution is progressing, whether you are on track for time, budget etc

- also so that what you have done is documented. for example you may make a modification to the code, then later on realise it doesn't work as well as intended and the original code worked better. So instead of trying to remember what was changed, you can look back through the documentation to see what changes you made


hm yeah there just 2 examples....
