| Initial Project planning is a must |
Project planning is an essential task for a project
manager. Breaking the project into steps help project
managers plan their activities in order to achieve the final
objectives of any project.
Identifying the objectives that the project is aiming to
achieve within the desired time frame depends on the size
of the project.
This step might take between couple of day to weeks or
even months to finish. The following project essentials
should be defined as early as possible:
* Objectives of the project
* Scope of the project
* Outputs
* Resources
* Stakeholders
* Accountabilities
* Milestones
* Budgets
* Timescales
This step which is usually called: setting the “terms of
reference” is discussed and negotiated with the sponsor
(s) of the project (the person(s) who assigned the project
responsibility to the project manager) first and with the
stake holders second.
The initial project phase usually sets the theme for any
project. the harmony between the sponsors if they are
many or the stakeholders is envisaged at this early stage.
Some projects are canned (stopped) during this stage if
they prove to be a failure in the long term or cannot justify
themselves.
Once the terms of reference are set, the project team
building task starts.
