7. Project Planning
It should be noted that planning is often an iterative process. As project tracking is performed, and more is learned about the project as it proceeds along the life cycle, the scope of work may be altered – and that means plans need to change. In many instances, this calls for yet another trip through the planning cycle.
The graphic is split into two sections. The left side is titled Current Project WBS and the right side is titled Project WBS Needed. Both sides of the graphic are basically the same. The writing the text book WBS level is on top and going downward, the next level is showing boxes for chapter 1 and chapter 2. When you get to the next level the right side, titled Project WBS Needed, shows the boxes for each subchapter, while on the Current Project WBS side there is no box at that level but there is text stating, not planned to this level.

8. Project Planning Pain Curve
The pain curve shows that proper planning is painful but pays off in less pain later in the project.
Poor planning expose to significant pain as the project commences. In fact that pain usually continues to increase.
