Project Plan Template - Canada
Draft Version 1.0 November 1999 Page 3
Is the Project Plan Applicable to all IM/IT Projects?
The project plan is applicable to all types of IM/IT projects regardless of size, complexity
or criticality. Not all projects are concerned with developing source code for a new
software product. Projects can cover
• Business cases,
• Feasibility studies and the definition of IM/IT requirements,
• Specific phases of an IM/IT product life cycle,
• Major modifications to existing software products, and
• Upgrades to technical infrastructure.
Smaller projects may require less formality than larger projects, but all components of the
project plan should be addressed by everyIM/ITproject.
Who is responsible for the Project Plan?
The individual or organization responsible for the IM/IT project will be responsible for
the project plan.
Evolution of Project Plans
One of the first activities to be completed in a project is the initial version of the project
plan. Over time, as the inputs to the project are better understood, the plans will become
more detailed. Each version of the project plan should be placed under configuration
management, and each version should contain a schedule for subsequent updates to the
project plan.
What is the Project Plan Template?
The project plan template presents the format and content of an IM/IT project plan. The
ordering of the sections is not meant to imply the order to develop the sections. The order
is meant for ease of reading, presentation, and use, and not as a guide to the order of
preparation of the various section.
This template is based on the IEEE Std 1058-1998, IEEE Standard for Software Project
Management Plans.
The text within each section is for the benefit of the person writing the project plan and
should be removed before the project plan is completed.
The template is for project managers and other individuals who prepare and update
project plans and track adherence to those plans.
