This Professional Project Plan Template can be as simple and complex as you need it to be, depending on your project management style and planning needs. You can include a static timeline and concentrate on action items or business goals. A project plan is most commonly used in project management, with Gantt charts used to plan and report progress as the project changes. The Gantt chart distinguishes a project plan from a work plan, making it a more integrated project plan with a way to track tasks against timelines. You can use the EdrawMax template to create your professional project plan.
