Rolling Wave Planning is a case of progressive elaboration in which the deliverables about which full information is available are decomposed to the lowest level, whereas the deliverables for which full information is not available are left at higher levels until the information becomes available.
It is called so because the process happens in stages just like sets of waves reaching the shore one after the other.
There are not different types of a project plan but different parts of a project plan. The project plan or the project management plan as it is also called is the output of the Project Planning Phase. It has multiple parts that include subsidiary plans. The subsidiary plans that are part of the project plan are: a. Scope Management Plan b. Time Management Plan c. Cost Management Plan d. Human Resource Management Plan e. etc
In the UK, the Association for Project Management (APM) has a qualification called the Registered Project Professional (RPP).
Planning and Controlling
A formal, approved document used to guide both project execution and project control. Once the project has been initiated, it is time to do some planning. Project planning starts with the process of developing a project management plan, which defines, prepares, coordinates, and integrates all subsidiary plans, such as scope and risk management plans, into one big plan called the project management plan. The goal here is to develop a source of information that will work as a guideline for how the project will be planned, executed, controlled, and closed. One reason why it is important to develop a project management plan is that not all projects need all the planning processes, and to the same degree. Therefore, the content of the project management plan will depend upon specific project that is being worked on. As the project goes through different stages, the project management plan may be updated and revised through the change control process. Below are some issues that a Project Management Plan is expected to address. 1. Which project management processes will be used for this process, what the level of implementation for each of these processes will be, and what the inputs and tools and techniques for these processes are 2. How the changes will be monitored and controlled 3. What the needs and techniques for communication among the stakeholders are 4. How the project lifecycle looks, including the project phases if the project is a multiphase project 5. The lifecycle selected for the project at hand

One can find project management at a site called Monster. Monster provides one with information on services regarding project management. This provides a multitude of places.
Planning
The key differences between the waterfall and sprint methodologies in project management are their approach to planning and execution. Waterfall follows a sequential, linear process where each phase must be completed before moving on to the next, while Sprint is iterative and allows for flexibility and adjustments throughout the project. Waterfall is more structured and requires detailed planning upfront, while Sprint focuses on delivering working increments of the project in short, fixed time frames called sprints.
The process used in the planning proces to project who or what will be affected by a disaster and how badly is called Risk Analysis and Tracking
You can read project management software reviews online at a number of places, mainly a site called "Reviews". They review a lot of things, including project management software.
Quality Management is a subset of Project Management. Quality Management consists of quality planning, assurance, and control. Managing projects requires applying knowledge, skills, and tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet the project objectives. You do this by performing some processes at various stages of the project, as discussed in the previous chapter. That means processes are part of the knowledge required to manage projects. Each aspect of a project is managed by using the corresponding knowledge area. For example, each project has a scope that needs to be managed, and the knowledge required to manage scope is in the knowledge area called project scope management. To perform the project work within the project scope, you need human resources, which need to be managed; the knowledge used to manage human resources is called human resource management. Each process belongs to one of the nine knowledge areas: 1. Scope Management 2. Time Management 3. Cost Management 4. Human Resource Management 5. Procurement Management 6. Risk Management 7. Quality Management 8. Integration Management & 9. Communication Management Project quality is defined as the degree to which a project satisfies its objectives and requirements. For example, a high-quality project is a project that is completed on time and with all the work in the project scope completed within the planned budget. Project quality management includes the following: 1. Plan quality - Determine the quality requirements and standards that are relevant to the project at hand and how to apply them. 2. Perform quality assurance - Ensure the planned quality requirements and standards are applied. 3. Perform quality control - Monitor the quality activities and record the results of these activities in order to assess performance and make necessary recommendations for corrective actions and changes.
This is known as resource management, which involves the planning, coordinating, and allocating of resources in an efficient and effective manner to achieve specific goals. It is an essential practice in various fields such as business, project management, and environmental conservation.
