The document discusses the key steps in project planning including developing a project master plan, defining the project scope and work breakdown structure (WBS), establishing an organizational structure and assigning responsibilities, scheduling using tools like Gantt charts, and conducting initial project planning. The project master plan typically includes the project objectives, scope, schedule, budget, and management approach. The WBS breaks down the total project work into smaller, more manageable components with clear responsibilities. Scheduling tools like Gantt charts are used to plan and track the project schedule.

Planning Fundamentals 1. Before project work actually begins, a plan is prepared specifying the project requirement, work tasks, responsibilities, schedules and budgets 2. During the execution phase, the plan is compared to actual project performance, time and cost 3. Corrective actions are taken and the requirements, schedules, and budget updated Le Thi Kim Oanh Project Planning 4 1. Planning steps What has to be done, how it has to be done, by whom, in what order, for how much and by when The planning process

2. The Project Master Plan (1) Preparation of a formal, written master plan: Functional areas of the organization assigned to the project should be involve in planning process. Contents of master plans vary depending on the size, complexity and nature of the project Typically, the plan has three major sections:

2. The Project Master Plan (6) Learning from Past Projects Reference should be made to earlier, similar project (including plans, procedures, successes, and failures) for whatever applications seem relevant. This enables planners to avoid reinventing the wheel and repeating past failures.

3. Scope and Work Definition A typical WBS might consist of five levels as follows (in actuality the number of level varies; the name of the element description at each level is arbitrary)
Le Thi Kim Oanh Project Planning 17
3. Scope and Work Definition Level 1 presents the total project At Level 2, the project is broken down into several (b/t 4 – 10) major categories of work. These categories usually conform to the work areas specified in the scope statement. At the lowest level, whatever numbered level that might be, is a work-package

Project Team Assignment Conduct initial project planning. To construct the overall project plan, start with the work breakdown structure and construct a WBS chart for the project. With available information, build a project budget and determine a master schedule with major milestones.
