You know where you want to go—it’s the process of getting there that can be overwhelming. The steps it takes to manage a project—especially a cross-functional project—can sometimes seem daunting. A project plan can help keep you and your team informed and on track, so things don’t get lost in the shuffle or forgotten. However, the prospect of creating a project plan itself can feel challenging—rest assured, there are plenty of project plan templates available to get you started.
A project plan is a detailed to-do list for each step in the process of a project. Depending on the nature of the project and your needs, the project plan might include a project timeline, assignees and a budget. Project managers use a project plan to organize the process, create schedules, set goals, track budgets, assign tasks and track progress. The project plan may also be used to generate reports to communicate updates about the project to other stakeholders.
