It doesn’t matter which industry you’re in or project you’re involved with, these 5 steps should be taken every time to properly plan your project:

Step 1: Set the Direction
Before you start out, set the direction for the project. Do this by clearly identifying the project vision, goals and deliverables. State the overall timeframes for delivery and clarify the amount of resource available. Determine what is “in scope” and “out of scope”. Identify the benefits and costs in delivering the project and any milestones and constraints. Only once this is agreed with your Project Sponsor will you know what it is that you have to achieve.
