The projectplan as the project contract

When you start as a projectmanager with a new project, the first thing you have to do is get all the information you need from the client to make up a good projectplan that in fact will be the contract between you and your client. After forming a projectteam you have to give shape to this projectplan in a way that all the inportant subjects of projectmanaging are in there, and most importantly the definition of the exact result.

 

 

Projectplan basics

A basic projectplan is build up with all necesary general information, but is specificly filled with the vital peaces of information and basic control systems. The content of a good projectplan consists of:

 

1. The project definition and goals.
2. The stucture and phasing.
3. The control systems; Time, Money, Quality, Information, Organisation.
4. Risk analysis.

 

For more detailed information of the separate content of the projectplan, please take a look at the specific subjects in the main menu. Especialy the project control systems have separate information pages.

 

Projectplan and confirmation

The projectplan is an important tool in projectmanagement and lets you think about your project in an early stage, filtering all information and setting up for a successful proces and result. An important step after finalizing a projectplan is to let the teammembers ans the projectclient confirm the content of the plan and signing the document. Ofcourse the document is going to be used as a tool in the process, and changes can be made after informing or consulting with a client. But with a good plan, all the consequenses of a change can be seen very easily, monitoring and controlling the project is much easier and everybody involved knows exactly what's going on in the project.
