The drawing up of the project management plan determines the overall planning of the project and the essential provisions and regulations on the basis of the planning and deadlines from the study, and it creates the prerequisites for drawing up the execution order.

The drawing up of the project management plan determines the initial overall planning of solution development and the essential regulations for the further course of the project, even before execution release.

The planning and processing of the various projects must be guided by the organization-specific requirements of the core organization.

The stakeholder list, the procurement analysis (where applicable), and the study with the decision on next steps form the basis for drawing up the project management plan. The project management plan is the prerequisite for project steering and control by the project sponsor and the coordination of the project with the requirements of the core organization.

The project management plan forms the basis for the management and control of the project by the project management. It is guided by the decision on next steps and determines how risk management or change management will be executed, how quality assurance of outcomes and processes/tasks will be ensured, and so on.

If an agile approach is planned, the project management plan determines whether optional releases are mandatory in the project or not. This decision is made by the project sponsor.

Before execution release, a master plan is created according to the principle of rolling planning, and the subsequent phase - concept or execution - is planned in detail. At the end of each phase or release, the next phase/release is planned in detail and the master plan is reviewed. This is done with the prepare phase release or prepare release closure task.

If the project is embedded in a program , the program management plan takes precedence. Project provisions of the project management plan must not run counter to the meaning and spirit of the corresponding program provisions. The exception to this rule is the choice between the traditional or agile approach to solution development. This must always be examined for each individual project and documented in the study.

1. Stakeholder list
2. Study
3. Procurement analysis
4. Next steps milestone

1. Obtain information about the project and its environment.
2. Draw up project management plan and in particular:
3. 1. Define the risk management process and risk assessment metrics;
   2. Determine and communicate the change process;
   3. Set quality objectives for execution;
   4. Define a review procedure for the outcomes and processes/tasks and record it in the review plan chapter;
   5. Determine quality assurance review methods;
   6. Adopt the procurement plan from the procurement analysis, check it, coordinate it with the study, adjust it if necessary, and record it;
   7. Under an agile approach, explicitly state whether the decision on release is mandatory;
   8. Determine execution organization
   9. 1. Project organization including development team ( agile )
      2. Role assignment for core and project organization
