ABSTRACT
Planning starts with broad assumptions which are steadily refined, as more information comes to hand. Planning typically proceeds from the broad to the detailed. Planning is typically done from the general to the particular, from coarse
to fine, in two directions (or two dimensions) (Figure 4.1) at the same time:
• In hierarchical levels involving breaking (the work in) projects into subprojects (for subprojects other than that based on stages), subsubprojects, , activities, elements and constituents. Detail emerges with lower levels. Project work is dissected into manageable portions through work breakdown (discussed later).
