- How to collect the information?
- Project Management
Software
- This information collection technique uses software for
project planning, resource allocation and scheduling.
- Examples: MeisterTask, Basecamp, Nifty, Teamwork Projects,
ProofHub, Zoho Projects, Trello, JIRA, Asana, Monday.com, Wrike, etc.

- Planning
processes
- It is a process in which questions are
asked to know what to do in the project.
- 01- What needs to be done?
02-When will it happen?
03-Who will do it?
- Once the questions are answered and the
project is starting, there are 10 steps to
effectively schedule the time:
- Confirm the project activities,
sequence activities, determine
dependencies, determine
durations, establish milestone,
allocate resources, assess risks,
define baseline schedule,
monitor and control and report
on any changes to the schedule.
