= Management Plans and Sub-Plans =
A management plan is a coordinated set of processes, procedures, roles, and controls used to manage a project or program. Sub-plans are specialized plans that address specific management domains (e.g., quality, risk, safety).

== Process orientation ==
Because projects are executed through processes, management planning often begins by identifying critical process ''state variables'' (what must be true/known/controlled at each stage) and how those variables will be identified, documented, and communicated at appropriate times.

== Typical sub-plans ==
Common sub-plans include:
* scope management plan,
* schedule management plan,
* cost management plan,
* risk management plan,
* quality management plan,
* safety and health plan,
* environmental management plan,
* communications plan,
* procurement and contracting plan,
* stakeholder engagement plan,
* configuration/change management plan.

== Integration ==
Sub-plans must be consistent (e.g., risk responses must be reflected in schedule and cost baselines). The overall project/program management plan is the integrating document.
