What is a Project Management Plan?
The Project Management Plan serves the purpose to define the project and how a successful project outcome will be achieved
Your Project Management Plan is aligned with the selected project delivery methodology. It describes all five phases of the project management lifecycle
- Project Initiation
- Project Planning
- Project Execution
- Project Monitoring and Control
- Project Closure
The key to success in a project is to follow the plan and the most important six elements for a successful project are:
- Understand and ensure to meet the clear project goals
- Understand and ensure having all information including lessons learned from previous projects when commencing the process
- A Plan is only a plan, but remaining agile, flexible and adaptable to changing situations is key
- “Unlearn” habits that keep you from innovative thinking
- Ensure clear, honest and transparent communication with all involved parties and “Say what you do and do what you say”
- Remain focused and stay on track
