Overplanning Projects
Stew | Feb 21 2007
I had some thoughts last night on whether it's possible to overplan projects. It's a bit lengthy for here, so I've posted it to my blog. It might seem like common sense, but I hope it helps some of you in figuring out the planning process. 4 Comments

CRuss, I agree with you...Submitted by Stew on February 23, 2007 - 8:48am.
CRuss, I agree with you in that some projects require planning whereas others do not. My point was to be able to differentiate between the two. It's impossible to quantify the question of how much planning is enough because this varies from person to person. For me, I found that I was planning too much and, as a result, spent less time doing. You're right - there needs to be a balance, which is something I didn't have. It's not that I'm now planning less, but the planning I'm doing is less formal. Ultimately, it comes down to reaching your own comfort level, so YMMV. I'm glad you liked the post. » POSTED IN:
