The Project Management Plan

Project Initiation

• Describe the idea or a proposal authorized and funded as a project. It may include some initial planning and estimating to clarify its objective and scope. Usually, projects are started by an
• organization in the form of a proposal or they are initiated by a donor agency by a competitive bidding process or a cooperative agreement. In either case the organization makes a decision to support the project proposal.

Project Planning

• Once the proposal is accepted and funds have been approved the project is finally ready to start. The first step is the development of all
• project plans, this phase includes two distinct components; the development of plans that are required as part of the proposal core planning, and the plans to manage the implementation of the project facilitating planning.

Monitoring

• Monitoring is about measuring the progress of a project against its objectives, looking at deviations from the plan and taking corrective
