• Planning is of major importance to a project because the project involves doing something which has not been done before.
• Activity definition: identifying the specific activities that must be performed to produce the various project deliverables

Initiating process
• The formal initiating links the project to the ongoing work of the performing Org.
• Inputs: product description; strategic plan; project selection criteria; historical information
• Controlling processes--ensuring that project objectives are met by monitoring and measuring progress and taking corrective action when necessary
• Closing processes--formalizing acceptance of the project or phase and bringing it to an orderly end
• The processes above are subject to to frequent iterations prior to competing the plan. For example, if the initial completion date is unacceptable, project resources, cost, or even scope may need to be redefined. In addition, planning is not an exact science-two different teams could generate very different plans for the same project.
