Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Why Do We Plan Projects?

Motivated by a discussion on a LinkedIn project management group, I just posted a new blog “Why Do We Plan Projects?” It makes the case that projects must be planned using such flexible techniques as work breakdown structures, value breakdown structures, critical path analysis, activity-based resource assignments, etc. NOT because we know what is going to happen, but because we don’t! And that such a plan becomes most valuable when variances demand a change in plan.

Fraternally in project management,
