OVERVIEW
——————–

If your project team does not have an organized, well-structured project schedule that accurately represents the deliverables and work required to complete the project, problems can easily arise, such as:

* Losing track of important deliverables or activities required for the project
* Confusion about the meaning or purpose of a task listed in the project plan
* Realizing at the last minute that the project team will be late in completing or delivering something for the project

A well-structured and well-managed project plan is essential to executing a successful project. It can help you:

* Predict the amount of work required to deliver what your customer wants
* Predict how many people are needed to deliver what your customer wants
* Predict the time required to deliver what your customer wants
* Predict the costs required to deliver what your customer wants

To create an organized, well-structured project plan that accurately outlines the deliverables and work required to complete the project, follow these 4 best practices:

* Create a milestone for each project result
* Add tasks required to complete each project deliverable
* Create naming conventions for tasks and milestones
* Create rules for task granularity

If you follow these four principles for working with tasks and milestones in your project plan, you should be able to:

* Keep better track of key deliverables and activities required for your project.
* Give your project team members more clarity about the tasks listed in your project plan.
* Track your team's progress on tasks across your project more accurately… and identify delays sooner.
