Abstract
Writing the project plan provides a structured framework for thinking about how the project will be conducted. A significant value of writing a project plan is the process rather than the outcome. It forces the stakeholders to think through their approach and make decisions about how to proceed. A project plan can be formal, as stakeholders and supporters approve documents and procedures used to guide both project execution and project control. Overall, project plans create a system of document forecast assumptions and decisions, push communication amongst stakeholders, substantiate approved scope, cost, and schedule baselines.
In this paper, I will define a project plan for the Springfield Plant closure. Each structure is dependent on the other to keep activities on path. A project manager must take an in-depth look into processes and methods techniques to meet a successful outcome.
