• Develop technical and management details to be included in the project management plan,
• Determine resources and skill levels needed to perform project work,

• Define the level of configuration management to apply on the project,
• Determine which project documents will be subject to the formal change control process, and

• Prioritize the work on the project to ensure the project resources are allocated to the appropriate work
at the appropriate time.
