In the rush to get started on a project, especially if it is complicated or time consuming, many project planners neglect the most important step. Careful pre-planning is the secret that will help your project go smoothly and end successfully. By creating a cohesive plan before project work begins, you can effectively manage the various aspects of your projects.
