Covers formalized procedures, tools and techniques used in conceptual and detailed planning of the project. A work breakdown structure (WBS) is developed to serve as the foundation for estimating, monitoring, and controlling the project's cost and duration. The use of project data to monitor and to evaluate project progress is analyzed. Emphasis is placed upon identifying deviations from the plan that require corrective actions to be initiated.
