I don't dismiss your experience and observations. Indeed, a huge component of the wasted productivity of knowledge-work companies is caused by projects that...

I was agreeing with the priority of things. Of course, we need a "good enough" model to begin, but we don't need lots of detail at the beginning of the...
Hi, Mark That is what I thought you meant. ;-) It is true some people mistakingly think critical chain requires more detailed models than critical path. For...
I agree that the plan should focus on the handoffs and not on detailing the micro steps (trivia and micro-management). Still, a solid model is important (to...
