project plan

Task scheduling document

A project plan is a document outlining the scope, timeline, resources, and deliverables for a specific undertaking.

It typically includes milestones, task assignments, budgets, and deadlines: We can't start development until the project plan is approved.

In formal project management, the plan serves as both roadmap and accountability tool—deviations from it require explanation or revision.
