. Introduction The purpose of planning techniques is that the administrator use them, take the right decisions based on the more specific situation of the environment and the organization in which to act. The techniques can be used in any project. In this paper we study the most widely used techniques such as the following: "Objectives and Policies Manual. -Diagram and Process Flow. "Gantt chart. -PERT. -CPM (Critical Path Method). Manuals The manuals are one of the tools available to help organizations develop their administrative and operational functions.
