Planning

Planning a project in eLearning is the first part in project management process that includes creating schedule or

Gantt chart and job task to each member in the group. Schedule or Gantt chart can be done in software that might

help and accessible to track the project progress. Normally schedule will be created base on few items such as

Stages, Item, Activity, Owner and Due-Date. These elements are important to ensure that nothing will be missed

during the execution of the project. However another task that need to be consider during this phase is to

determine any constraint especially skills and multimedia constraint such as content specification or restrictions,

what is the limit the project can offer and to get the approval from the client before proceeding with any project.

The client needs to sign off the objective to be achieved and clear with the constraint that have been state before

the project can be executed.
