The exercise of project planning includes defining the key milestones and tasks required to complete a project. This project planning template helps you breakdown an entire project workload into the smaller tasks that must be accomplished. It also helps you identify the critical milestones of your plan.

It was created as a PowerPoint slide so it is easy for teams to jointly work on a plan that is simple to present and easy for them to manage after the plan has been developed. For example this slide can be repeatedly updated by any PowerPoint user, as the plan changes over time.
