Key Question
As we enter the Plan the Project phase of the project lifecycle, the project manager’s work revolves around answering a singular question:
How do we divide and conquer the work to be done on this project?

During this phase, a lot of the project manager’s heavy lifting is usually done – it is up to the members of the team to complete tasks. (Unless you wear multiple hats and are also responsible for executing tasks defined in the project plan.)
