This article teach the steps for a good project planning that you can use for future projects
The first thing you must do is create a project plan and follow the steps
Step 1 Project Goals
As a first step it is important to identify the stakeholders in your project. It is not always easy to identify the stakeholders of a project, particularly those impacted indirectly. Examples of stakeholders are:
The project sponsor
The customer who receives the deliverables
The users of the project outputs
The project manager and project team
Using the goals you have defined in step 1, create a list of things the project needs to deliver in order to meet those goals. Specify when and how each item must be delivered.
Step 3 Project Schedule
Create a list of tasks that need to be carried out for each deliverable identified in step 2. For each task identify the following:
The amount of effort (hours or days) required to complete the task
The resource who will carryout the task
Once you have established the amount of effort for each task, you can workout the effort required for each deliverable and an accurate delivery date. Update your deliverables section with the more accurate delivery dates.
Step 4 Supponting Plan
This section deals with plans you should create as part of the planning process. These can be included directly in the plan.
