ABSTRACT
We have already stressed the need for a regular review and monitor process. Frankly, if you don’t set up a regular progress and review session, you may as well not plan at all.
Project planning in the preproject phase, before work gets started, is a little like planting the seed, if you will forgive the rather biblical analogy. Planting the seed is quite hard work and in itself has some limited value, but not, as Paul Daniels would say, a lot. The harvest that the visible and successful project manager reaps is in the regular updating of the plan.
