Improving the Project Planning Process Considering Artifacts with Quality

In the last years, Project Management discipline has become a very important factor for the success of any software development project, being the Planning Process particularly important. Likewise, the quality of the artifacts used in this process is critical. This paper proposes a data quality model that could be applied to a set of metadata proposed for different artifacts described in the Planning process defined in the international standard ISO/IEC 12207:2008, proposing at the same time a suitable structure for all these artifacts, taking into consideration for this the essential characteristics and structure of the input and output products of the Planning processes described in the PMBOK.
