Depending on how formal your sponsors are, there may be penalties to agree at this stage and you will need to consider contingencies in cases of failure to obtain all the resources or meet certain requirements - delivery dates especially.

This is a mind map example that shows how mind map can help in project planning.

3. how success will be judged,
4. what the scope of the project will be,
5. what resources it can draw upon,
6. who will be involved,
