Purpose of Planning

Organizations often collapse and projects fail not because of the shortage of resources, but because of poor planning. Primarily the purpose of planning is to find answers to the following questions:

  • Why am I preparing this plan?
  • What am I trying to achieve?
  • What resources do I need to execute the plan?
  • How I find the resources?

These questions shall definitely lead us to clear objectives, time frame for the plan and resources required.
