Plan delivery

The purpose of this competency is to achieve the goals of delivery planning, i.e. to:

  • describe the objectives of the project, programme or portfolio;
  • define the work required to achieve the objectives and describe how it will be performed;
  • estimate the resources and finance needed to perform the work;
  • document the plans and update them throughout the life cycle.

You must be able to:

  1. prepare specifications that describe the scope of the work
  2. prepare delivery plans for all aspects of the work, including schedule, finance, resources, risk, change
