Product Description
Project planning is generally accepted as an important contributor to project success. However is there research that affirms the positive impact of project planning and gives guidance on how much effort should be spent on planning? To answer these questions this book looks at current literature and new research of this under-studied area of project management. The author presents his findings from an extensive review of project planning literature that covers more than 270 sources. He also discusses new research that analyzes data from more than 1 300 global projects.

It also concludes that there can be too much planning and shows that the optimum ratio of planning to effort is 25%. The book examines the impact of project planning on different industries. It discusses research in the construction and information technology (IT) industries and presents a case study of how to plan and track a software development project. The book also looks at the impact of geography on project planning and success.
