According to management consultant expert Martin Luenendonk, 39% of projects fail due to lack of planning, inadequate resources, and insufficient work activities.Project planning is a step in project management that involves creating a detailed plan for completing a project.

Alex, using his Gantt Chart, which shows how tasks in your plan will relate to one another and when you have scheduled these tasks for completion, now has a clear roadmap for the project, allowing him to focus his efforts and hit key milestones.
