What is a project plan?

A project plan is a model of the process that the project team intends to follow to realize the project objectives. It brings together a number of important aspects of this process including its scope, timing, cost, and associated risks.

The project plan can be viewed as a type of “contract” between the project team members and other stakeholders. It defines” the process by which the objectives will be achieved and the responsibilities in carrying out this process.

Project plans also underpin a number of other key project management functions including estimating and forecasting, options analysis and decision- making, and performance monitoring and control.
