Faza planiranja važan je dio životnog ciklusa projekta jer kreira mapu puta koju će slijediti projektni tim. Faza planiranja daje detalje i definira ciljeve projekta kako bi se udovoljilo zahtjevima koje je definirala organizacija.
Tokom faze planiranja, projektni menadžeri će morati da:
Set a common goal for everyone. Lay out what needs to get done and by when.
Who does what? Create a list detailing this and include contact info for easy communication.
Have a plan in place but finalize details with the team at the kick-off meeting.
How will the project be measured? What will make it successful? Set expectations early.
Prepare the team for potential roadblocks and have a process in place so that these potential problems can be taken out quickly.
How will you update each other? Establish a consistent process (daily, weekly, monthly meetings) and determine the means of communication and the specific technology for it.
Establish the best practices your team will follow.
Ensure everyone has the proper tools and knows how to use them.
The entire team and stakeholders must be there, even if this will happen via video conference or phone call.
