| This section describes the steps a project manager covers to develop a project plan.&nbsp; Planning for a project is
 |
| more of a circular process with back and forth input from multiple areas, ultimately leading to a project plan.&nbsp;
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Project planning&nbsp;helps the&nbsp;project manager&nbsp;document the schedule of all project activities,&nbsp;capture
 |
| information to direct the efforts of the project team, and provide a baseline against which progress and changes can be
 |
| measured.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| In short, project planning leads you to the creation of a plan that focuses on the achievement of stakeholders’ goals
 |
| for the project. Planning activities and milestones ensure that all necessary goals are considered in the plan to
 |
| deliver and gain acceptance on the deliverables necessary to achieve these goals.
