Plan and Deliver

Whether you are an individual team member or a department manager, just about all of us--at one time or another--have been asked to produce an estimated work plan for some project or deliverable. And just about all of us-—at one time or another--have opened up Excel or Project, thrown in ten or a hundred tasks, slapped absolute-guess-estimates on each task, scrutinized the total until feeling comfortable with it, published the plan to get that manager or sponsor off our back, then moved on to actually doing the work, and never looked at that plan ever again.
This is not planning. This is storytelling. And it can kill your project. All of us have done it with small stuff. I’ve done it with small stuff. But some of us--I'd wager--have done it with 10 million dollar projects. And storytelling killed those projects, too.

The teams that I work with have two very important rules around task ownership. First, regardless of the number of people doing work on a task, each task should only have one person's name on it. Second, regardless of who is actually doing the work, the task should always belong to an active member of the team.

Hi all.
Thanks again for reading the blog and providing some awesome comments... please keep them coming!
I do not know if you have noticed, but at the bottom of every page published is a series of flags. I'd like to hear from you to see if they would be more valuable moving towards the top of the page.... but first, I need some people who actually READ those languages to check them out for me. So... If you can read one of the 13 languages this site is automagically...

OK. So, maybe I messed up the punch line.
That is pretty normal for me. Sigh.
