Project Plan or Shopping List?

Project plans too often resemble shopping lists, detailing every single activity that is to be performed. We then find that it takes hours of our valuable time to just keep the plans up to date, not to mention that we focus more on completing individual tasks rather than managing the various components of the project to deliver the end result.

“Shopping Lists” or “To Do Lists” add no value to project management, so abandon them! Develop a project plan that is outcomes focused. Each activity should result in a tangible outcome that contributes to achieving the overall project objective and realising the benefits.
