What is a Project Plan?
A project plan defines project goals and objectives, specifies tasks and how goals will be achieved, identifies what resources will be needed and associated budgets and timelines for completion. A project plan defines all work in a project and identifies who will do it. A typical project plan consists of: A statement of work, a resource list, work breakdown structure, a project schedule and a risk plan.
Why is it important?
- Having a well-developed project plan is one of the critical success factors for projects. A project plan is the Project Manager’s communications and control tool for use throughout the lifecycle of the project. Project plans are living documents, which provide project direction. Project plans contain all of the planning documents that are part of the entire process. Components of the project plan include baselines, baseline management plans, risk management, quality, procurement, resourcing and communications.
