NOTE 1: All plans are built over time. You start with whatever info you have, and build from there. As you build the plan, you use what you’ve built to interest other parties in the project; then you build them into the plan as they become formally involved.

NOTE 2: This is an optimum plan. Not every plan will involve all of these elements. Incorporate everything you can provide that will explain and support the project.
