At the end, this chapter covers quantitative methods like AHP and GANTT charts, which objectively assess the process and outcome of a project. Learning Objectives: To understand project planning definition and stages; to describe R&D project planning and the planning process; to present a holistic picture on the budgeting system, traditional budgeting systems and its categories, mechanics of the budgeting process, modern planning and budgeting systems, and alternative approaches.
