☑️ Keep stakeholders informed of project progress
☑️ Keep teams on task, within scope, and on budget
☑️ Help to keep team members efficient and productive
☑️ Allow for accurate reporting of progress

6. PLANNING STEPS
1. Determine the project goals and objectives
• Project goals provide a broad idea of what you’re
trying to accomplish and help dictate the direction
of your project.
• Project objectives are similar to your goals, but
they define the project in more specific terms like
cost, time, and quality.

7. 2. Determine the project scope
• The project scope is based on the project goals
and objectives
• Project scope helps to distinguish what is and is
not involved in the project

10. 4. Set timelines
• We can set timelines by comparing
the duration of tasks in similar
projects or asking the team how
long specific tasks take them.
• Project timelines help us estimate
the completion date and keep
things on track.

11. 5. Determine and plan resources
• For a project to succeed, you need the
right people and resources.
• This step involves a lot of project
assumptions and making estimates.

12. 6. Estimate Costs
• Ballpark Estimation – A ballpark estimate
is a rough initial estimate based on high
level client objectives, and a large margin
of uncertainty. A ballpark estimate should
be a price range, rather than a fixed fee.
• Parametric Estimation - The use of
historical data or past projects when
calculating estimates

13. 7. Determine risks and
constraints
• The key to avoiding a
project failure is identifying
the potential pitfalls and
creating an action plan to
handle them.

• A project management
communication plan identifies
how important information will
be communicated to
stakeholders throughout the
project.
