You make a good point :)  

I believe it is a combination of a project tool with detailed tasks and milestones AND a person that chases them all down and follows them to completion.  A project manager eliminates the "garbage in garbage out" problem by evaluating the data going in and out and taking action when necessary to coordinate resolution.  

I am willing to be that person.
