Lecture 08 of the ITPM (IT Project Management) and SPM (Software Project Management) series focuses on the Planning Process Group, one of the most critical phases in the project management lifecycle. This lecture is designed for BS IT, BS CS, BS SE students, as well as Final Year Project (FYP) students who want to understand how professional software projects are planned in real-world environments.

In this session, you will learn how project planning transforms high-level ideas into a structured and actionable roadmap. The Planning Process Group defines what will be done, how it will be done, who will do it, when it will be done, and how risks will be managed. Without proper planning, even technically strong software projects are likely to fail.

The lecture explains planning concepts according to PMBOK-aligned practices, with clear examples relevant to software development projects such as web applications, mobile apps, and FYP systems like e-learning platforms.

Topics Covered in This Lecture:

• Introduction to the Planning Process Group
• Importance of planning in software project management
• Project scope planning and scope statement
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for software projects
• Project schedule planning (activities, sequencing, timelines)
• Cost estimation and budgeting in software projects
• Resource planning (human resources, tools, and technologies)
• Risk management planning and risk identification
• Quality planning in software development
• Communication and stakeholder planning
• Integration of planning outputs into project execution

This lecture also highlights how proper planning helps:
• Reduce project risks and uncertainties
• Control cost and schedule overruns
• Improve coordination between team members
• Ensure alignment with project objectives
• Increase the success rate of FYP and industry projects

Whether you are preparing for ITPM/SPM exams, working on your Final Year Project (FYP), or learning project management for professional growth, this lecture will give you a solid conceptual and practical foundation.

📌 This lecture is part of the SOWProgramming academic series by Mujahid Husnain, aimed at simplifying complex software engineering and project management topics for students.

👉 Watch till the end for a complete understanding of planning concepts that are frequently asked in exams and viva.
