Time Planning Feedback
Many are written as task.
E.g. Develop a PMP is a
set of actions
Approval of PMP is a
milestone
Milestones
are moments
in time not a
Period of
time
For PMP,
do not
need to
show time
For PMP, do not
need to show
Duration, Start
and Finish

Is this really of
interest to an
approver.
Would not the approver
want to know what the
sprints are working towards
More information
than an approver
needs

Tidy this up and it
may be adequate
for PMP
Choose
Appropriate Terms
E.g. “Launch” vs
“Installation”
This M&C Task
group looks more
like Closeout

shading
Critical
Path?
This would be a
good working
document. Too
Big for PMP.
Only one
critical
task?
Delete, as it
should already
be in Overview
Write in the third
person. E.g. Replace
“Our” with “The”
Some of these read like activities. The
milestone is often described by how you
know this activity has been completed
Write this milestone as
the intended outcome
of the visit eg
“completed inspection”
Appears to be incomplete
Is this what the
Approvers need
to see?
With no dependencies,
I’ll be checking if the
PMP explains start dates
This would be a
good working
document. Too
Big for PMP.

in red) appears
incomplete
Parent Activities should
be shown differently to
child activities
