Project planning is a discipline for stating how to complete a project within a certain
timeframe, usually with defined stages, and with designated resources. One view of project planning
divides the activity into:
- Setting objectives (these should be measurable)
- Identifying deliverables
- Planning the schedule
- Making supporting plans
Supporting plans may include those related to: human resources, communication methods, and risk
management.
Computer hardware and software project planning within an enterprise is often done using a
project planning guide that describes the process that the enterprise feels has been successful in
the past.
Tools popularly used for the scheduling part of a plan include the Gantt chart and the
PERT chart.
