Project Management,Project Planning Jiwei Ma,Project Planning,Concept of project planning Project phases and project planning Planning of project objectives Planning of project implementation Project scheduling methods and tools,Project Planning,Project planning is the initial effort and on-going duty of project leaders to answer the following questions: Where to go and when to get there? The target How to get there? The roadmap Who should join? The project team What can help?
