Perform this activity when you want to define the project plan before entering project-specific data into the system. This is a manual activity, the main purpose of which is to provide an understanding of how the project plan should look before entering the plan into the system.
The project plan outlines the strategy and execution of all project activities. It serves as a blueprint, detailing the project’s objectives, scope, milestones, and deliverables. This plan is reflected in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is a visual and hierarchical representation of all the activities and deliverables required to complete the project.
When defining the WBS structure, the project objectives and project milestones should be considered, along with a plan on how to divide the work in the project into sub projects and activities. It’s through this detailed structure that the work identified is carried out and managed. Sub projects represent significant sections of the project and can be thought of as mini-projects within the larger overall project. Activities reflect the work that needs to be performed to complete the sub projects. They are the points at which work is assigned to resources and deliverables are defined. Activities have clear start and end dates, and they are the elements that are tracked for project progress.
