One of the frustrations of new Project Managers has to do with creating your project in MS Project or for some of you Primavera hoping to get everything in one fell swoop. We all wish we could have a plan in our head and put it on paper in one try. First of all don't get Frustrated and don't try to get it all in one attempt.
Go ahead and put down all the tasks and activities you can think about. There doesn't have to be any order, categorization or specific madness to put it on paper. The beauty of it is to start brainstorming your ideas then rearranging them on your project which is as simple as arranging items on MS Excel.
The next step is to determine the order but utilize the people that are working with you to develop an agreed schedule. You build rapport, you get learning and understanding, and achieve your main goal of creating a schedule.
