prosjektplanleggingsmetode

Prosjektplan is a Norwegian term for a project plan and is a foundational document used in project management to define the scope, objectives, schedule, resources, and risk management for a specific project. It serves as a roadmap that aligns stakeholders and provides a basis for monitoring progress and managing change throughout the project lifecycle. The plan typically includes an executive summary, background and justification, goals and success criteria, deliverables, work breakdown structure, timeline, budget, resource allocation, and communication plan. Risk assessments and mitigation strategies are also documented to prepare for potential obstacles.

In Norway, the use of prosjektplan aligns with national and European best practices and is often required for publicly funded projects. It is also a critical component of the Rådet for prosjektledelse (Project Management Council) guidelines, which recommend that projektplaner be reviewed and updated at key milestones.

The development of a prosjektplan usually involves a project manager, the project team, and key stakeholders, often facilitated through workshops or iterative drafts. Clear and concise documentation helps eliminate ambiguity and supports effective decision making, facilitating timely delivery and cost control.

Because a prosjektplan is legally and operationally relevant, it is stored in a project management information system and undergoes controlled changes through a formal change management process. This ensures traceability of decisions and maintains alignment with the organization’s strategic objectives.
