Project planning: A career path
The document discusses project planning as a career path. It outlines the need for competent project planners given that most projects fail without proper planning. It describes the project environment, qualifications, and roles of project planners. Project planners are responsible for establishing schedules, managing risk, communication, and ensuring projects are delivered on time. The document also discusses training, competence assessments, and career prospects for project planners, such as advancing from scheduler to planning manager or specialist roles.
