The Project Plan is a clear roadmap that defines the structured 'logic' for implementing the client's Business Plan. This logic includes tasks/sub-tasks, critical path definition, responsibilities, resources allocation, dependencies, and timelines with checkpoints that meet the client's implementation schedule.
Project Planning begins with a solid Business Plan. Your Project Plan should:
- Serve As Your Official 'Roadmap'
- Define and Allocate Resources
- Provide Step-by-Step Tasks/Sub-Tasks (Logic)
- Portray Schedule
- Define Reporting Protocols
- Drive Methodology, Structure & Discipline
- Lend itself to IT/Software Application
The purpose of the Project Plan is to provide structure and order to the Project Implementation. This Plan will define the responsibilities of each functional department and assign accountability to ensure the all the specific tasks are being implemented in the US and Asia. In order for a smooth project implementation in Asia, this Project Plan must be detailed and thoroughly identify how to handle unique China or Vietnam issues.
