    Good day all,
    A pretty good read and some good prompts / reminders and good practices. Some thoughts / notes and suggestions as follows :-
    1. Section – lines 29-36. Suggestion – It is important to reiterate that the Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) or other financial structures should be aligned with the WBS to ensure consistency and optimal application
    2. Section – lines 106-109. SLPPs. Refer last line of 108-109 which reads "They are allocated to control accounts and converted to planning packages at the earliest opportunity". Suggest adding after "at the earliest opportunity", something like – " when scope and data is of sufficient quality and maturity". (This may be obvious to most professionals but is worthwhile to reiterate)
    3. Line 266 – suggest adding after this – "It is further recommended that project managers record each setting of the planning windows and maintain this approach throughout the project life cycle"
    4. Consider adding after Figure 9 (or somewhere appropriate) a note and/or extending Figure 9 to include – DD+12 mths to DD +24 mths Future Resource Planning; reason being some projects extend well beyond the window, and the longer-term window serves as a reminder. It is also possible in some projects where there are similar or repetitive work packages carried out in sequence or with dependencies from one to the other, that a "reminder" for the project manager and project team be included
    Some of the above could possibly be covered elsewhere in other RPs or probably have better ways of wording things, etc but hope it is of use and I am not running off-track. I look forward to hearing from others and reading more comments.

    Regards,
    Donny
