Project Planning

The project plan should provide accurate measurable milestones for your project. Timelines slip, budgets overrun, people get sick, mistakes are made - Is the perfect project one where none of this happens? No, we believe the answer is:

The perfect project is one where a solid product definition enables an accurate project plan that provides the most accurate visibility to your true budget, timeline, and scope of work.

Redstone Labs has years of experience which enables us to avoid common problems in project planning:

  • Start with a good product definition.

    • Without a good product definition, you are putting together a plan for something you do not completely understand.

  • Plan for problems - they are going to happen.

    • There are many reasons people plan for perfect world results - None of them are good. This isn't a perfect world so planning for one only sets you up for failure.

  • Avoid feature creep.

    • Feature creep is the art of changing what you are building after you have finished your project definition and project plan. Feature creep invalidates the product definition, which is the foundation for your project pla, and invalidate previous efforts, thus wasting time and money.

  • Success breeds success.

    • Enable your team to be successful and they will continue to be successful. Setting yourself up for failure only diminishes results and team moral.
