Part 3: Project Plan Project Stages Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Initiate and Plan The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed. Initial Coordination Prior to Project commencement, ▇▇▇▇▇ management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed. ▇▇▇▇▇ provides ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with initial Project documents used to gather names of key personnel, their functional role as it pertains to the Project, as well as any blackout dates to consider for future planning. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ the information requested by the provided deadline ensuring preliminary planning and scheduling can be conducted moving the Project forward in a timely fashion.
