Congratulations — you’re the proud project manager of a new project! Before you do anything, you need to understand the scope of the project. You must clearly specify what’s in and out of scope, milestones, the budget, and completion criteria.

Planning a project isn’t as easy as opening a file in Project and entering all the activities you have to complete. Before you can begin to plan, you need to understand the purpose of the project and the high-level information about the project such as project’s objectives and the intended outcomes.

Therefore, before you enter the first task into Project, you create the project charter (described a little later in this chapter) to initiate the project and develop the work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize project deliverables. Then you can start organizing the project and entering tasks into Project.

This chapter describes how to move from imagining a concept to planning a project so you know how to enter and work with tasks and how to save the new project.
