Document Summary

Needs to be tailored to 2 kind of readers: executives who want the overview of each key area, team members and auditors who want the details. No plan survives a collision with reality: how you communicate about your plan and changes to your plan often determines your success, expect for things to change. For example: an airplane files a route pan, to get to its destination the pilot will do constant course correction depending on conditions, course corrections have to be communicated in order to fly and land successfully. We know plans will change, but you need to start somewhere or you won"t start at all: a project management plan is simply developing the initial project flight plan, A project management plan usually includes: scope, wbs & cost/schedules estimats, human resources plan, communication management plan, risks management plan, quality management plan, procurement management plan. Team based approach: project manager acts as a facilitator, input from stakeholders.
