Introduction
In the Plan Phase, your project is proposed in more detail, and you outline a clear approach for executing the project.
Your key activities are to:
- Thoroughly plan the project activities, schedule, and resource requirements; and
- Provide more detailed information to senior management for discussion and approval.
Deliverables in this phase build on the
Project Definition Document and
Business Case from the Define Phase.
A
Project Plan will outline what work a project will do and how it will be executed, including timeline and budget information. Typically, a detailed Schedule and Budget are provided as appendices to the Project Plan.
Once the Project Plan, Schedule, and Budget are approved, you move from the Plan Phase to the
Implement Phase.
