ABSTRACT
When the project is given a go ahead by upper management, you have a short time to prepare for its planning. Planning includes selecting team members, forming international teams, creating a summary of the project specifications, creating work breakdown structure, generating a list of tasks, creating the initial schedule, structuring the project information management system, generating a cost and schedule performance spreadsheet, and holding the project kickoff meetings. is initial planning period for an international project manager is a very busy and tough one and might require a lot of international travel in a very short time because the clock for the project starts to tick, and you should take at most a couple of weeks to bring everything together to launch the project domestically and internationally.
