Planning. Sounds like a no-brainer but, all to often it is just not done. Working in the corporate world, I tend to see “over planning”. So much so that it actually causes problems. Meetings, meetings, teleconferences (TC’s), message boards (databases), and more meetings creating a sea of documentation madness. The problem with this type of over planning is that the planners have no idea on what they are planning. They spend so much time at high level planning that no time is spent at the low level, where it eventually ends up. Usually laiden with issues that were not thought of. The people in the trenches don’t know anything.
Planning the course of development from square one, getting it down on paper, and creating a deadline. We have all heard it before, “Write it down on paper” and most of us don’t. I’m one who hasn’t. I mean it is in my head right. Why right it down? Writing it down is more concrete, it is there visible right in front of you. So, it is time to follow all those peoples advise before Frank, Frank, after Frank and right it down.
I’m going to have to figure out how to get rid of all these annoying social bookmarking tags that keep showing up after each post. I’ll have to check out the plug-in’s info. Would rather they stay in the column or maybe I’ll switch to another way. Newbie problems.
