Upfront planning

Upfront planning is the process of establishing clear goals, roles, timelines, and resources at the beginning of a project. It involves mapping out the entire project scope, identifying potential challenges, and setting expectations before work starts. This proactive approach helps ensure everyone understands their responsibilities, reduces uncertainties, and increases the likelihood of successful completion. By investing time in thorough planning upfront, teams can make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and adapt more effectively to changes, ultimately saving time and reducing costs over the course of the project.
