Next steps: preparing for what will happen after the end of the project, by: Handing-over responsibility for ongoing change so that sustainability is promoted. Identifying lessons learned from implementing the project. These experiences are valuable in helping ongoing or future projects within the court to be successful. The post-project stage can also restart the project cycle by informing the identification / design of a proposed new project within the court, as illustrated in Figure 3, below: Figure 3: The Project Cycle as an Ongoing Process Useful Resources: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) [Section 3.4] Financial Management [Section 3.7] Tool 10: Effective Project Reporting [page 27] ▶ Plan To organise, arrange, work out, design, outline, map out, prepare, schedule, formulate, frame, develop, etc. The above definition captures the essence of project planning.

Planning is also critical for the project control or monitoring process, so project managers know: what is to happen; when it is to occur; who will undertake specific activities/tasks; and what is to be achieved. Only when this information is available, is it possible to track progress, ensure quality, manage budgets, and achieve outcomes. Matters that require detailed planning by the project manager include: Planning Task Stage of Project Cycle Timing / scheduling of activities - allowing for sufficient time for: Stage 1: Identification / design initial discussion, identification, and preparation of resources - develop initial timing, (venues, facilitators, participants, publishers, etc.) sequencing, links between activities, and budgets. Sequencing of inputs - in a logical and chronological manner. Stage 2: Implementation - refine initial planning from Location of activities - if the project involves different locations Step 1, and develop more (countries / islands / organisations) these will need to identified detailed planning and resource allocations approved. documentation for each approved activity. Allocation of responsibilities - clearly define and document who has responsibility for undertaking each activity / task, including:
