Project Planning & Scheduling

Issue Abstract

Abstract
Broad Planning is a general concept that sets a simple road map to a destination. The word was used at various levels to imply different items. Planning involves splitting the project into definable, observable and recognizable tasks / activities and then defining the interdependencies between them. These plans include four main steps: breakdown of the project's work items into tasks. Identifying the correct sequence to perform the operations. Representing events. Estimating individual activities' resources , time, and expense. The planning team needs rigorous effort. A planner should know the various categories of work and the language and information used in general practise. Planning tem should also seek professional opinion including real building experience. This helps create a practical strategy and later on-site prevent issues.
