STANDARD PROGRAM PLAN OUTLINE
The Program/Project Plan is one of the most important documents you will create to manage a project or program. The outline of the plan should be consistent from project to project. Obviously, the content of much of the plan will vary from project to project, but some of the content will also be consistent. Which is which should be a part of the enterprise policies that drive such plans.
Following is a suggested outline you can use to generate your first Project or Program Plan, even if you don’t have an enterprise policy to drive it. Over time, you will find which parts of the plans are constant and which change. By using a word processing application you can create a new plan very quickly. This is particularly helpful in bidding new projects or programs. Start with the outline below and change it to fit your needs.

STANDARD TECHNICAL
PLAN OUTLINE
Because the purposes of companies vary widely, their Technical Plans will vary widely as well. Once established within an enterprise however, the outline and purpose of the Technical Plan will be relatively constant. The content will, of course, change from project to project.
The basis of the following Technical Plan Outline is MIL-STD-490. It is purposely comprehensive. Start with this outline and modify it to your needs.
