A
S
K
12. ESTIMATE DURATION

14. CONTD..
Organize all the previous information using a
scheduling software or template
You may found that the project estimated deadline is
not aligned with the “imposed project deadline” by
the sponsor
Renegotiate the deadline (project delay)
Employ additional resources (additional money)
Reduce the scope of the project (less deliverables)
Be firm and do not make commitments other than
what your schedule and budget dictate
15. REMEMBER!
Planning is requires team participation
Another implementation of the same
product doesn’t mean the same
project plan
Plans always change and reprioritize
with situations
