Hello everyone,

Suppose you’re leading a project aimed at updating the packaging for a product line. You begin the planning phase by estimating your project budget and completion date.when you enter the buildup phase ,you get much more specific in your budget and schedule estimates. Then, during the implementation phase,it turns out that several critical staff members aren’t available. This forces you to go back to your project plan and revise it to your account for the need for outside resources to keep the project moving forward.

Returning to the activities of an earlier phase doesn’t means you’re moving backwards or losing ground.It is simply means you’re incorporating new knowledge and information into the overall project plan. Please share to this discussion your ideas if you agree. How important should a planning phase be for a project to be a success.
