Description
The output is an integrated project plan, that will be
utilized for the duration of the project. There should only be one master plan
for each project, though the teams may be responsible for the more detailed
task lists within each main deliverable/work package. It should contain the
following:
·
All deliverables by phase
·
Milestones identified by phase
·
Logical sequencing of deliverables
·
Dependencies of deliverables
·
Types of resource required
·
Estimate of work efforts involved
Review this project plan with
the project steering committee or company project manager and gain approval.
The customer project manager should be actively involved in preparing the plan
else they won’t buy-in to it.

Additional Information
The initial project plan is defined in this phase, but due
to requests to change scope, delays in producing deliverables, it needs to be
updated throughout the lifecycle of the project. When preparing the plan, be specific in defining required skill
sets, experience for producing each deliverable, as this will allow to
accurately assign one or more deliverables to project team members and minimize
any problems that may cause by assigning inaccurate responsibilities.
