Few people agree on how to plan projects. Often, much of the time spent during planning is getting people to agree on how the planning should be done. I think people obsess about plan- ning because it’s the point of contact for many different roles in any organization. When major decisions are at stake that will affect people for months or years, everyone has the motivation to get involved. There is excitement and new energy but also the fear that if action isn’t taken, opportunities will be lost. This combination makes it all too easy for people to assume that their own view of the world is the most.
