Detailed project plans

Creating a project plan is one of the key factors in the success of an IS/IT project. Without proper planning, a project has little chance to be successful. However, as projects progress, even the best-laid plans may need to be updated.

In this Discussion, you will explore the implications of increasing the detail of a project plan during a project.
