PT2 - Creating a project plan

During the exercise, go through the course material

  • 2.1 basics of project management
  • 2.2 Project planning
  • 2.3 Project organization
  • 2.4 Project communication

The project plan is prepared before the start of the project and is updated as the project progresses. In the initial phase, the project plan is used to record important information about the project stakeholders, schedule, important targets/goals during project and needed resource allocations. Project plan is like a road map for the project.
