Define Project Management Plan and write its common elements?
A project management plan
is a document used to coordinate all project planning documents and help guide
a project s execution and control. Plans created in the other knowledge areas are considered subsidiary parts of the overall project management plan. Project management plans also document project planning assumptions and decisions regarding choices, facilitate communication among stakeholders, define the content, extent, and timing of key management reviews, and provide a baseline for progress measurement and project control. Project management plans should be dynamic, flexible, and subject to change when the environment or project changes. These plans should greatly assist the project manager in leading the project team and assessing project status.
