In this chapter, you learned the importance of project planning and outlining. You have reviewed some of the components of a good project plan and have seen examples of how a project plan is put together.

Producing a high quality e-learning video starts with a good plan. Without one, your video can wander and lose focus for learners. Worse, it could fail to meet the objectives you have in mind for the project. How will you know whether your course has met objectives if you haven't formalized them in a plan? How will you know if the training covers everything when you don't have a good outline of topics to cover? It is always best to start with a project plan appropriate to the subject and scope of your video.

Now, let's move on to the next topics, which include how to create a script or storyboard for your project. In the next chapters, you will build scripting and storyboarding skills based on the planning techniques you learned in this chapter.
