A familiar maxim says, ‘if you cannot plan it, you
do not do it’. Another maxim says, ‘I never
planned to fail, I just failed to plan’. Planning
spans a whole project period. It begins once the
project planning activities determine the
organization’s strategy and identifies the ICT
projects. Within the framework of a few fixed
constraints, project plans evolve with the lifecycle.
The constraints are time and money so each
project has a clear deadline and a tight budget.
