This lesson will guide you through creating a detailed and specific project plan to efficiently manage and complete your creative project.

• Project Description: Update your project description incorporating insights from prototyping and feedback.
• Define Your Audience: Detail who your work is intended for and tailor your project to meet the needs and expectations of this audience.
• State Project Intent: Clearly articulate the purpose of your project and what you hope to achieve or communicate through your work.
• Outline Tasks: List all necessary tasks required to complete your project, order them logically, and estimate the time each will take.
• Set a Completion Date: Establish a realistic deadline to create a sense of urgency and structure your project timeline.
• Create a Timeline: Develop a timeline that coordinates your tasks and completion date to ensure a structured workflow and timely completion.

Remember, a good project plan is flexible and can be adapted as the project progresses, but it should initially serve as a roadmap to guide you from start to finish. Use this plan to focus your efforts and streamline the creation process of your project.
