What? - What is the work that will be performed on the project? What are the major products/ deliverables?
Who? - Who will be involved and what will be their responsibilities within the project? How will they be organized?
When? - What is the project timeline and when will particularly meaningful points, referred to as milestones, be complete?" [Project plan. Wikipedia]
