We all know the drill - sell the gig, work with the client on delivery of project pieces, noted by milestones, and bill along the way - always trying to keep track of the time you allotted, the total cost of resources on the project, and the landmarks reached that determine when the client can be billed.

But project-driven companies - large or small - often get tangled in the knickers of the project at hand (understandably) and lose track of the total big picture of the business.
