About the framework
Gather the decisions behind a project plan
This project planning mind map groups the questions to settle before building a detailed schedule. The center is Project Plan, with five branches: Scope, Timeline, Resources, Risks, and Communication. Each has four starting points, giving a kickoff discussion a defined structure.
Scope includes objectives, deliverables, constraints, and assumptions. Timeline covers milestones, deadlines, dependencies, and buffer time. Resources lists team members, budget, tools, and vendors; Risks lists technical, schedule, and budget concerns plus mitigation plans. Communication covers stakeholders, meeting cadence, status reports, and escalation. These are topic labels, not assigned tasks or calculated dates.
Replace each label with project-specific details as decisions become clear. For example, expand Deliverables with acceptance criteria and Dependencies with the work that must finish first. The map can inform a later schedule, but it does not already contain one.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Does the template include a schedule?
No. Timeline contains planning topics rather than dates or task durations. Supply milestones, durations, and dependencies if you want to develop that branch into a schedule.
How can I use this in a kickoff meeting?
Work through the five branches and record decisions and unanswered questions. Ask the AI to expand each branch with your meeting notes afterward.
Can I adapt it for sprint planning?
Ask for branches such as Sprint Goal, Backlog, Capacity, Dependencies, and Review. Provide your sprint length and candidate work so the result reflects your planning process.
