What does NOT need to be known at the time when the preliminary project plan is drawn up?
Deadline framework (project start, project duration, completion/delivery dates).
Personnel requirement framework (qualification, histogram of manpower).
The decision as to whether the project is to be conducted.

What aspect is NOT contained in a preliminary project plan?
