Project Management Plan Template

Form Overview
 

Purpose:

The Project Schedule Template, also known as a Project Management Plan, describes the project management methods and tools employed within a project; which are often incorporated as a set of project management sub plans. The objective of a project management plan is to define the overall approach to execute, monitor and control, deliver and close the entire scope of work authorized for a project.

It is good practice to have a formally agreed and version controlled project management plan approved in the early stages of the project, and applied and updated throughout the project. Once completed, the plan should be agreed and approved by the project's clients, executive sponsors, the assigned project manager, and other key stakeholders.

The project management plan typically covers the following chapters or sub plans:

Scope Management
Schedule Management
Financial Management
Quality Assurance Management
Resource Management for resources including personnel, equipment, tools, etc.
Communications Management
Project Change Management
Risk Management
Procurement Management.
