The Project Plan, and the Process to Get There

So you need to plan a project. What does that really mean? In spite of what many people think, a project plan is far more than just a schedule, and certainly far less than a book. Above all, project plans are — or should be — a thinking tool to help you and your team get started well.

This course by ProjectConnections CEO Cinda Voegtli walks you through what's included in a useful project plan (and what isn't) and explains how to get the most out of this critical project management document. Drawing on her extensive experience, Cinda also illustrates how the process — and the plan document — may vary for different kinds or sizes of projects, and why that is not only acceptable, but recommended.

Find out how to transform your project plans from required due diligence into effective tools for team management.
