Project planning in Teams
To plan a project a team should have a goal and should work as one unit to achieve certain objectives. In project planning, team members should implement inventive ideas that would serve their goal in a resourceful way. Each individual on a team should take part in the planning process, because the diversity of team members and their different perspectives can create more than one approach to initiate a project. Project planning can be explained as determining the goals and objectives of a project through a coordination of procedures and determination of courses of action before initiating a project. Project planning is a rational determination of how to initiate, sustain, and finalize a project. There are many steps to be taken when planning a project within a team.
When working on a project, the first thing to be done is set up a goal to be reached. Ask what to be accomplished from this project or the reason for it. The answer would be one 's aim or goal. In this step, a team must decide where they want to go with that aim, what decision must be made about it, and when the decision must be made to reach that goal. This step is the main process in the project planning because it should provide the ultimate decision to be made.
Project Planning in Teams
To have a successful plan when working with a team, set a role of conduct for the team members. Define what each individual 's responsibility is and what to be expected from them. Each project should be broken down into specific tasks; it is important to find ways to divide the work into manageable parts. Each task must be within the team members ' capabilities. Each member should agree on the task assigned to him. Thus one complex project will be organized as a set of simple tasks which together achieve the desired result. In planning any project, a team must follow the same simple steps: if an item is too complex to manage, it
