A project plan is like your very own roadmap, guiding you through the project. An important note to make is how a project plan is forever changing. The plan you make at the start may not be the one you finish with, but learning to create a clear project plan and knowing how to discuss its key components is crucial to your project’s success.
Your project plan does not merely mean ‘project timeline.’ The timeline is one component of a project plan, however it contains a much deeper level of information concerning the entire planning process and all of its planning documents. This needs to include specifications for the new project, budget, schedule, the risks involved, quality metrics, impacts, etc.
