The project has 7 main phases as is outlined in the Work packages and schematically reflected in the budget and the Logical Framework matrix. A template for a more detailed Work breakdown schedule has been set up by the Lead Partner (EPTO) and for each Work Package a thorough planning has been set up and is logged and managed by EPTO’s project coordinator and the project’s Quality Assurance person. In this way it is clear for each of the partners, what for each of the objective, key milestones and outputs in each of the WPs, will be the Activities, Outputs, Partners involved; Partner responsible ; Quality Assurance Contact Comments, Timing; Start date, Due date; Real time achieved; Estimated Amount of Grant used, Risk, Quality indicators and Approval by Steering Committee Date. This is a very efficient project planning and log tool that keeps everyone on target for timing, resources and work achieved.
