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,
