No matter the format, a project plan is a critical document in project management that brings many different factors together into a single source of truth. It represents your scope, project requirements, team and stakeholders, process history and knowledge, and any research you’ve done or input you’ve gathered along the way.

Any good project plan will show major deliverables and the process you’ll follow—and timing and deadlines needed—to get to those deliverables. It'll also communicate dependencies, team roles, and assignments. That’s a lot!

The good news is: It’s totally manageable if you take your time, think through all the aspects, and work with your team and clients to finalize it. This project plan tutorial shows you how in just a few simple steps so you’ll feel confident making your next project plan.
