Your sequence of events was very easy to follow. I'm new to PM and it was nice to her it explained this way. Thank you!

Cheers for this, I have been researching "project management plan document example" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Tannilara Stupendous Transcendence - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to getting 7000 plus project management and business templates minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got great results with it.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "what is the role of project cost management?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Tannilara Stupendous Transcendence - (search on google ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to getting 7000 plus project management and business templates without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
I'm studying Project Management and this is so much more helpful than the generic content I've come across so far. I'm a person who needs steps and specifics when leaning or it all becomes white noise, and seeing this process laid out step by step has given men the clarity and confidence to continue my studies! Thanks so much for this, Edward!
Summary
1.Get project details- type of project, business case, existing information
2. Develop Project charter, review and sign off (Project management assigned)
3. Identify Stakeholders - affected or affecting. From inside out
4. Develop Project management plan - research to get all necessary details
5. Collect requirements from stakeholders- condition or capability. Quality, communication, resourse
6. Develop scope statement- what is the end product. Project charter + requirements.
7. Create work breakdown structure (wbs)
8.Plan resources - team lead, resources for each activity. Ask how many hours they'll dedicate
9. Develop Project schedule - using activities identified (overlap some) share with stakeholders.
Fast tract - crashing, tools research, Enhance schedule ...
10. Cost estimate - budget (weekly, monthly...)
11. Identify risks - what could go wrong
12. Analyse and mitigate risk - avoid, remove, transfer the risk, accept the eisk
13. Update project management plan

Final project plan* sign off
STEP #4 - Develop project management plan refers to starting the plan as the rest of the steps are part of the planning

Edward, I LOVED this video! I'm a thrice renewed PMP and love the high-level overview of the process steps, set in lay-people's terms! At the end, you reference the next step: "Execution," and say "But that's another video!" Which video would that be? Do tell!
I never got around to making that one
Thks for this video great content

Lovely presentation and extremely useful...God bless you
Thank you for the feedback and for watching. Are you PMP certified yet?
This summary is really impressive. Thank you professor Shehab
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
So far I have searched the internet, I have not seen any that is as good as this site. I have watched your videos and are so superb especially for new people into project management as myself. The great thing is you give scenarios and practicable examples.
I have noted that what happens in the field mostly is different from theory, that is we are never given life piratical problems. Nor training consider or cater for new people in project management.
Thank you and keep the good work.
Wow, thank you! I try to relay my experiences alongside theory, so people can gain some virtual experience maybe...
I am a high school student and I have been assigned with a task regarding to a conversion of a garage into a flat and this really helped me as I have to put in a project management plan... thanks so much!
You are most welcome and I am glad my video was of help. Thanks for watching and let me know if u need any help!
I am taking now PMP class and this is a big help for me, make things simpler and easier to understand, Thanks a lot!
I would recommend you watch the PMP exam prep playlist as it is specifically covering PMBOK6...Thanks for visiting!

interesting & informative indeed. thanks Ed, it helped me. minor correction step number 11 (Risk mitigation - its written estimate "impect"
Hi Sam...Good to hear from you. Thank you for pointing this out. I guess it's too late now as the video is already published and cannot be retracted. Unfortunately I would just have to live with it 🙁. Please stay in touch!!
nice and helpful
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!
@EdwardShehab thank you for the structure approach. Would love to connect with you so I can become a better PM. Thank you in advance!
I am here if you need me
Thanks
You are quite welcome! and THANK YOU for the GIFT!! Much appreciated!
Wow
yup
Hello Edward. Your video’s are really good and are helpful for me. I am studying at a university in PM and i was thinking to clear CAPM certification so can you suggest me to how to prepare for it and also other certifications to be cleared which would help me in future to build a career in PM.
Thank you.
I think you should aim for the PMP directly. It has a better market value than CAPM
Such a great video. Is it possible to share the sample project management plan for any imaginary company? It would be really great to understand how things look on paper once we follow these steps. Can you pls share? :)
Hi Sharad...I am not sure it will always be one plan to cover all sub-plans. This is a sequence of several plans that make up the project management plan. For a more practical view of project management, I would suggest you watch my practical PM series at th-cam.com/play/PLiu-wIHnEii0v_4F-1JmR-Rdwctm4irvy.html. Best Regards!
@@ProjectManagementVideos Thank you for your reply. I would surely watch the suggested video. Best wishes! :)
Do you have any advice on developing a plan in line with another plan? Scenarios being that you are working with a 3rd party (let’s call them a software developer). They have a delivery plan (MS Project) but I need to develop a business readiness plan in tandem. Any advice, links to tutorials would be gratefully received - thank you!
Hi Natalie...When planning, start with your objectives first. Your objectives are essentially the building blocks of a project charter. Although you and the developers are working on the same overall objectives, you each have your own individual objectives. For you, the developer is dependency when it comes to scope and schedule. You can plan your readiness plan with the assumption that certain deliverables will be completed by the developer at certain milestone dates. Your readiness planning is tied to their progress, so this means you will need to collaborate on the collective plan. You will need to schedule more frequent meetings with the developer to get updates and in turn update your plans. Any issues from their end will affect your plans. I can go on like this, but the bottom line is that they are a dependency in your plans and you will be planning around them, and try to influence change in their plans that support your plans. This is similar to managing a program where multiple components are interconnected, and the overall objective of the program will be measured by the benefits we get when all components are in place, rather than outcomes from the individual efforts. You might be managing a program, and programs view plans based on strategy and benefits, and so they are planned differently from projects. Hope this helped a bit.
Highly interesting and very educative. I have a question. Can you please tell me typically how much time does it consume to prepare a Project Management Plan for a Greenfield Mineral Processing Plant Project.
Hi Jayanti...I am not sure there is a set amount of time to plan a project. I know you stated it is greenfield, but it depends on the scope of responsibilities that the PM has. Sometimes the design work is done, and sometime you are responsible for it. Also, you might have a massive project team and/or infrastructure, which would help expedite the time. Just know that planning and executing can overlap to a certain degree, so you can start to execute even when the whole project is not yet planned. You also need to take sponsor constraints into consideration. If they are in a hurry, then you have to move faster and bring in consultants to speed up the process. I am not sure I can give one answer for duration of planning. You have to start with as much understanding of the project and project management scope to know what planning needs to happen. Hope this helps.
Hi Edward, thank you very much for your reply. With the different factors you have mentioned, it definitely helps get a close enough estimate in preparation of the project management plan.
Thanks again.
Jayanti

Could we use project management plans to manage (projects included in strategic plan) for a university? I noticed that universities have strategic plan for the university at all and strategic plans for its units, why? I think it is better to have pmp for each project(of a corporate strategic plan) related to all unites in the university.. hope I illustrate my question.. many thanks 🙏 eng.
If I understand correctly, you are wondering if one project can be done to benefit the university as whole to support strategic plans. Yes. Some projects can be like that. However, when organizations prepare their strategic plans, they come up with goals and objectives, which they pass down to their business units or functional departments, who in turn initiate projects to deliver on these objectives. So, you end up with each unit having its own projects. What the organization needs in this instance is a portfolio manager who looks at all projects underway to map them to the strategic plan and determine how and when they should be initiated. Hope this helps.
@@ProjectManagementVideos so helpful thank u 🙏
how do you get the resources when you havent identified when you need it with the schedule, or how much without the estimates?
Not sure if I understood your question correctly. The resources are the physical human and material resources you will need to get the scope of work completed. Based on how many units of these resources you need, you can estimate how much your project will cost and you can plan on acquiring them. Hope this helps.
Can you please explain, where does six sigma fit into the project management phases
Six Sigma is a process or product improvement discipline. It fits under quality and may be used when addressing recurring defects or issues in either the project management process or in making the product of your project. I personally don't always see the connection with projects as I think it applies more during an operational or product improvement project. However, it does fit in projects. Think of something like "Quality of communication or documentation", "quality of estimates". In such cases, it makes sense. On a construction project, what do you do if you constantly have to redo what was just done? Try to figure what's causing the defect or variation? That's Six Sigma... Hope this helps.
@@ProjectManagementVideos Thanks for the clarification
can we have an example for project charter with realtime
Hi Annapurna...you can check out this video I published recently on project charter th-cam.com/video/7TpOKcrF1cA/w-d-xo.html
Hoping someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject can explain. Why would you define the requirements after you have developed the PMP? Would it not be better to define the requirements first? Thanks!
The requirements are pretty much the first real planning step in developing the project management plan. Not sure where u got that requirements are after the plan??
@@ProjectManagementVideos That's what I thought. However, step 4 is to develop the PMP, step 5 is to collect requirements from the identified stakeholders?
step 12
Thank you! Hope you have been visiting and watching the new videos...
How do I get in touch with you
via the email in description. However, if it is general questions, you can comment on TH-cam.
The project charter should not be created by the project manager.
why?
I agree however in many organizations it is a pm task.
