ABSTRACT
This is by far the potential “choke point” for planning if not done correctly. Conversely, it virtually guarantees a smooth planning schedule for tracking purposes if done correctly. This process-based software project management approach does not allow planning tasks on a schedule unless they are known for sure. This level of knowingness has to come directly from the execution of key tasks (such as “Design Down” and “Update Integration Plan” tasks) coupled with prompt action by you as software project manager and your role partners. This is the one area in which this process approach is not very forgiving if you and your team don’t act promptly.
