Plansincluding

Plansincluding is a coined term that refers to a collection of planning documents organized as an umbrella set in which each included item itself contains related subplans. The term is not part of established planning frameworks; rather, it appears in informal writing, project work tracks, and in data labeling or software configuration where a single identifier is used to group multiple plans.

In practice, a plansincluding bundle may include the project management plan, risk management plan, communications plan, quality plan, schedule, stakeholder engagement plan, and procurement plan, among others. The idea is to treat the collection as a single composite artifact to improve governance, versioning, and traceability.

Usage notes: Because "plansincluding" is not standardized, it can cause confusion. Writers should define the term on first use and consider using the two-word phrase "plans including" in formal documents. In data tools, it can be used as a label or tag to segment related artifacts.
