Project Management
The practice of a project management is not an exact science
and there are wide variations of method, approach and
terminology, reflecting the youthfulness of project management
as a discipline. (Gardiner, 2005)

Project Management is the planning, monitoring and control of

all aspects of a project and the motivation of all those involved
in it to achieve the project objectives on time and to the
specified cost, quality and performance. (BS 6079-1, 2000: 5)

Purpose of Planning
The ultimate purpose of planning is to build a model that
enables you to predict which activities and resources are critical
to the timely completion of the project.

Strategies may then be implemented to ensure that the

activities and resources are managed properly, thus ensuring
that the project will be delivered both On Time and Within
Budget.

Engr. Wajih Nadeem Qamar, PMP

Planning aims to:
Identify the total scope of the project and plan to deliver it.
Evaluate different project delivery methods.
Identify Products/Deliverables required to deliver a project
under a logical breakdown of the project.
Identify and optimize the use of resources and evaluate if target
dates may be met.
Identify risks, plan to minimize them and set priorities.
Provide a baseline plan against which progress is measured.
Assist management to think ahead and make informed
decisions.
Engr. Wajih Nadeem Qamar, PMP
Planning helps to avoid or assist in
evaluating:
Increased project costs or reduction in scope and/or quality.
Additional changeover and/or operation costs.
