Conclusion

Planning is usually seen in the organizations, company or government agency but actually the plan is
made not only in an organization but also in a person's life, we need to applied planning in our life, we
need it to have a sense of direction in life we need to plan something for our future in order to attain or
achieve our goals in the future, planning helps us to direct and redirect future for self and others for

A plan is like a map. when following a plan, a person can see how much they have progressed towards
their project goal and how far they are from their destination, planning helps us see in advance those
things that can help us achieve our goal and those things that can prevent us from achieving our goal
and work out what to do about them, planning helps us to be accountable for what we do, planning
helps us decide how best to use our resources like people, time, money, information, equipment so that
they make the most significant contribution to achieving our goal and also planning lays the basis for us

information, an analysis of the problem at hand, clarity of goals, objectives, and procedures, planning
