The third phase of the project life cycle has two parts: doing the detailed planning for the project and then implementing that plan to accomplish the project objective. Before jumping in and starting the project itself, the contractor or project team must take sufficient time to plan the project properly. It is necessary to rayout a roadmap, or game plan, that shows how the project tasks will be accomplished within budget and on schedule. Trying to perform a project without a plan like attempting to assemble a child’s bicycle without first reading the instructions. Individuals who think planning is unnecessary or a waste of time invariably need to find time later on to redo things. It is important to plan the work, then work the plan. Otherwise, chaos and frustration will result, and the risk of project failure will be higher.
