Top-down planning is referred to as strategy. Top-down project planning is focused on keeping the decision making process at the senior level. Goals and quotas are established at the highest level, and those at the top are not often willing to take advice or any guidance from lower level employees
Bottom-Up Planning is a method of planning, defining objectives and ways to achieve them through the bottom up. First, relatively close targets at lower levels of the organizational hierarchy are set. They are then gradually integrated into the framework of global goals and global strategy at higher and higher levels.
