Work plans
The purpose of a work plan is to allow the project manager to outline the scope of the project, lay out deliverables, assign tasks and establish deadlines. When writing a work plan, remember to include a realistic time line that gives you flexibility in case things don't proceed as smoothly as anticipated.
