Whether it comes naturally or is the result of a concerted effort and process, every [[Systems|system]] plans to achieve the same benefits:
- [[Focus]] on the right priorities.
- Clear Ownership.
- [[Coordination]].
- High shipping velocity.
The goal of planning is to get to a unified and realistic plan for what the system is collectively working towards over a given time horizon. Is not a one-time event, but a continuous process that happens at different levels of granularity.
To help with planning, you should have these things:
- Longterm Vision Statement. Where are you going.
- [[Writing a Roadmap|Roadmap]]. A unified view of what the team is working towards shipping.
- List of options.
No matter what the final plan is, [[Teamwork|document it]] and you'll have a log of all the plans to reflect back on.
Speed is important. You can build / do things quickly.
- Make an outline of the project
- For each item in the outline, make an outline. Do this recursively until the items are small.
- Fill in/do each item as fast as possible. do not perfect/iterate them as you go.
- Finally, once completely done, go back and perfect.
