Life is full of surprises and random events affecting every planned action.
Last week my wife and kid get some health problems. I had to change schedule to take more care of my family.
Another example is my Mutual Funds Portofolio project. I have finished first prototype and was ready for "intra" testing. Unfortunately main quote data source has been shut down. It was free service, that I used for testing purposes, so that kind of things are quite probable.
Minor or major change of plan will occur anyway. So, is planning worth anything? Yes, but we have to plan with possible changes in mind.
Most solutions tend to fall between two strategies:
- using enormous resources to analyze every probable option
- analyze core issues and then proactive adapt do changes
Good example of ready for change strategy are agile methodologies. If you are interested in the subject please read introduction at agilemanifesto.org/.
