A major component of the front-end work required to effectively plan and initiate a project, is the development of a framework for the project model. This framework, or structuring of the project is important to the development of a complete and organized project plan. It is also for sorting, selecting, grouping and summarization of the project data, which, in turn, is essential to support recognized management-by-exception techniques and reporting to the various stakeholders.
