Planning
Approved projects can begin the planning cycle. This is where you will identify the concrete things the project will produce (deliverables), who will do them, when they are done, and how they will be delivered. Risks and opportunities are captures in this phase, as well as how communications in the project will occur
- Define the scope: what is the project doing? what is it not doing?
- Allocate resources: who can perform the work?
- Build the schedule: when are those resources available to do the work?
- Identify Risks: what constraints or risks do you see that can impact the project?
- Determine communications: how will stakeholders be informed during the project? Proper communication is extremely important!
