Project planning software is an essential component of project workforce management, Project planning tools provide detailed task scheduling, budgeting, and resource assignment capabilities.

Having a well-developed project plan is one of the critical success factors for any successful project. A project plan defines project goals and objectives, specifies tasks and how goals will be achieved. Project planning identifies what resources will be needed and associated budgets and timelines for completion.

A successful project plan defines all work in a project and identifies who will do it. A typical project plan consists of: A statement of work, a resource list, work breakdown structure, a project schedule and a risk plan.

Project Plans are living documents, which provide project direction.

A project plan is the Project Manager’s communications and control tool for use throughout the lifecycle of the project. Project plans contain all of the planning documents that are part of the entire process. Components of the project plan include baselines, baseline management plans, risk management, quality, procurement, resourcing and communications.
