Do Agile projects do planning?
No, agile projects have a different type of planning, but they still have to be planned.
Agile planning differs from traditional planning but is still essential for project success.
What type of project plan is best to start with?
A high-level project plan that overviews the project’s scope.
This plan serves as a foundation for more detailed planning later.
How does a project manager’s ability to predict project outcomes affect planning?
The project manager can create a more detailed project plan if they wish to, as they can predict from experience how the project will work.
Experience allows for better forecasting and planning.
