The foundation to any project depends on the detailed formation of a project plan that articulates Objectives, Scope, Schedule, Resources, Critical Path and Contingencies.

Research and due diligence into all components of the project is vital to ensure confidence in progress. Stakeholders must be made aware of the scope and what it entails with a clear understanding of the commitments and risks that may occur.
