Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Write a short project description. This ensures that you understand your project ans what you need to accomplish.
Step2
Break larger projects into smaller subprojects.
Step3
Write the necessary steps to complete each subproject.
Step4
Give each step a start and completion date.
Step5
Review the start and end dates. Some steps require that a previous step complete before the next step starts. These are called dependencies. Make sure these steps are scheduled correctly.
Step6
Take notes after completing each step. Note what worked and didn't work. Specifically, make notes for those steps that took longer to complete than planned.
Step7
Review these notes. This will help you better plan your next project.

on 5/6/2008 Good article for project planning. I was a project planner (in my working life), and I'd say "you've got it"! Also, MSProject (or equivalent) software is wonderful for making this a lot easier.
