SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning an approved project charter into an actionable, sponsor-approved project management plan is time-consuming and error-prone; this Skill guides the full PMBOK Planning process group so no knowledge area or baseline is missed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Subsidiary Plans Across 10 Knowledge Areas: Generates scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder plans integrated into one Project Management Plan. - Scheduling and Estimation Techniques: Applies WBS with the 8/80 rule, CPM critical path analysis, PERT three-point estimation, and bottom-up cost estimation with contingency reserves. - Governance Artifacts: Produces a RACI matrix (exactly one Accountable per activity), a top-10 Risk Register with Probability × Impact scoring, and a Communications Plan. - Use Case: After the sponsor signs the Project Charter, run this Skill to produce the WBS, schedule baseline, cost baseline, and risk register, then obtain formal sponsor approval before entering Executing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run pm-planning to develop the full PMBOK project management plan for your approved project charter, including the WBS, schedule baseline, and risk register.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project management plan in PMBOK?▼

Develop subsidiary plans for all ten knowledge areas, then integrate them into one Project Management Plan. Key outputs include the WBS, schedule baseline with critical path, cost baseline, risk register, RACI matrix, and communications plan, all approved by the sponsor.

What is the difference between CPM and PERT in schedule planning?▼

CPM identifies the critical path by computing forward and backward passes to find activities with zero float. PERT handles uncertain durations using a weighted estimate of (O + 4M + P) / 6, making it better for activities with high uncertainty.

When should I not start the PMBOK planning phase?▼

Do not plan without a signed Project Charter, since planning without formal authorization produces work that may be rejected. Also return to Initiating if business aspects remain unclear before committing to baselines.

How many risks should a project risk register contain?▼

A healthy risk register identifies at least the top 10 risks with probability, impact, response strategy, owner, and trigger for each. A register with only 3-4 risks signals incomplete risk identification.

What are the limitations of planning-phase cost estimates?▼

Planning estimates carry roughly ±10-20% accuracy, better than the ±50% of Initiating but still estimates. Committing exact dates and costs contractually based on planning estimates is risky, and baselines should be updated through change control.
