Diving Deep into the Project Plan
Explore the detailed process of building a thorough project plan. Understand how to refine requirements, construct use cases, break down tasks with estimates, and collaborate effectively with your team to ensure clarity and consensus.
The step-by-step process of building a project plan
Let's explore the step-by-step process of building a project plan. This is similar to learning math in the sense that we'll start out writing down every step, even when the step is obvious. As we get better, steps are done in our head, or multiple steps are performed at the same time. For now, we’ll show all of the steps. In real life, we usually combine the first two and the next two together. The steps we’ll cover are the following:
Requirements gathering and refinement
Building use cases from the requirements
Task breakdown with estimates
Assembling the project plan
Let's look at each of these in detail.
Requirements gathering and refinement
This is a crucial step where a TPM refines and clarifies the requirements. Because ...
