This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Designing and Pricing a Consulting Project PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured two-step approach to project planning, emphasizing the importance of both milestone and deliverable planning, as well as activity planning. The left section focuses on defining major milestones, which are critical checkpoints throughout the project. It suggests reserving time for synthesizing information, action planning, and communication at the end of each phase. This indicates a need for reflection and adjustment as the project progresses. Additionally, it advises planning a buffer of 10-15% to accommodate contingencies and potential overdelivery, which is essential for maintaining flexibility in project timelines.

The right section shifts to activity planning, highlighting the necessity of ensuring adequate time for deliverables. This reflects a proactive approach to managing project timelines. It stresses the importance of incorporating client validation into the planning process, indicating that presentations play a vital role in decision-making at major milestones. This suggests that engaging clients regularly can enhance project alignment with their expectations. Furthermore, the slide emphasizes collaboration through workshops, which can facilitate the validation of key results. This collaborative aspect is crucial for fostering stakeholder buy-in and ensuring that project outcomes meet client needs.

Overall, the slide conveys that effective project planning is not merely a mechanical process, but rather an art that requires thoughtful consideration of both deliverables and client engagement. This dual focus can lead to more successful project outcomes and stronger client relationships.
