This document discusses key aspects of project planning and management. It includes figures that illustrate trade-offs in project management between factors like cost, time and quality. It also shows how to break down projects into work breakdown structures (WBS) and integrate those with organizational breakdown structures (OBS). The figures demonstrate how to estimate costs for work packages and show different views of project costs over time, including scheduled budget, actual costs and committed costs.
