The document discusses various tools and techniques for defining and planning a project, including: 1. Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) to outline the work elements and deliverables of the project. The WBS can then be integrated with an organizational breakdown structure (OBS) to assign responsibilities. 2. Developing a project scope statement to define the goals and deliverables of the project. Additional tools like a responsibility matrix can assign tasks. 3. Using coding systems to track the WBS, OBS, work packages, budgets, and deliverables to allow for consolidated reporting on project performance and costs.
