Ten Possible Additional Project Plan Elements

The preceding are, in my view, the Top 10 elements of a PP, subject to the caveats noted earlier in this discussion of project planning. Now consider ten more possible PP elements that might be useful in some project situations. Each is named and briefly 

Invoicing Procedure As with the QC/QA process, the invoicing procedure may already be fully addressed in your organization. 

Documentation and Filing Procedure This potential element may also be addressed within your organization. If not, describe, in writing, as part of your PP, what is to be documented and where it is to be filed. 

Subconsultant Management If your project will use sub-consultant services, you will want the relationship between you and your sub(s) to be as effective as the relationship between you and your client, owner, or customer. 

Definitions John P. Bachner (2008 July) states that definitions are one of the six elements of a good contract and are usually absent. The other five elements, according to him, are project description, scope, general conditions, schedule, and fee.
