A Project Plan overall is a management document that summarizes the essentials of a Project.
A Project Plan overall evolves through successive stages of a Project in terms of its objectives, justifications and the methods in which the objectives are set to be achieved. All activities under a plan are supposed to be completed in order for the plan to be put in action. It also evolves through successive stages of a Project’s life cycle.
