Project Planning defines all major tasks, estimates the time and resources necessary to complete them, and provides a framework for management review and control.

Project Planning activities include defining and documenting the following:

• Work to be performed,
• Project goals,
• Estimates for planning, tracking, executing, and controlling the project,
• Commitments of the affected groups, and
• Project alternatives, assumptions, and constraints
