The most critical element of the project management process is project planning. Failure to adequately plan the project can cause significant problems later in the project lifecycle, potentially resulting in a failed or canceled project. Equally important during the planning process is the definition of the scope of the project and a thorough understanding of the objectives and goals the project is intended to satisfy. Effort spent to define and plan the project and adequately identify the scope is significantly less costly than the time and effort wasted in solving problems created by the failure to do so.

Inadequate planning can ultimately cause a failed or canceled project, dissatisfied customers and loss of repeat business.

NEPMC understands that adequate project planning is more than just the development of project network diagrams using project management software. Our consultants have experience in addressing and implementing all areas of project planning, such as:

The extent to which these items are addressed, and the sophistication and formality of the process, is a function of the characteristics of the organization and of the specific project.
