Courses: project management

I was relieved to hear in this course that planning is not a natural process. It certainly doesn't come naturally to me! I was also relieved to hear that detailed plans can only be applied to stages of three month or so, and for longer projects you need an outline with the detail to be filled in as the project progresses. In fact I think that is more or less what we have done with our project, although without a lot of formal paperwork, so maybe I'm not as disorganised as I someimes feel!
