Introduction
This paper sets out to describe and explain the process for writing a project plan for a medium-sized project. Once the plan accepted by management and approved for implementation, the project plan becomes a directive document. Such a project plan directive should be set out in an orderly progression. If the organization has, or contemplates having, many projects, it is a good idea to establish a standard template for all of them. That will make them easier to manage as a portfolio. The following sections describe the sequence and highlights of the content that we recommend. For simplicity, a small building project is used for illustration.
1. Jamal's second book: "Project Scope Management: A Practical Guide to Requirements for Engineering, Product, Construction, IT and Enterprise Projects" is scheduled for publication in late 2014.
