]]> Comment on Rolling Wave Planning Technique by DickB http://leadershipchamps.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/rolling-wave-planning-technique/#comment-494 DickB Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:18:34 +0000 http://leadershipchamps.wordpress.com/?p=76#comment-494 I agree: This is a good post (pithy and readable). My recent experience with a self-proclaimed experienced PM seemed to me that rolling wave can be an excuse for not planning at all. This PM had a multi-year, multi-million dollar project. The PM would plan for 45-60 days in detail, but could not produce a higher-level schedule beyond that. The PM's management knew that the project was supposed to go for several years, but the PM could provide no insight into the scope, schedule, or real budget. Neither the PM's managers nor the project's sponsors showed any curiosity about what was supposed to go on beyond sixty days out and demanded no accountability. As a senior consultant to the bigger organization, I asked the PM what was going on and the PM said that the project was on auto-pilot and that the approach was "rolling wave" planning and management. The PM finally go promoted (naturally) on the strength of the PM's 60-day plans!!! I agree: This is a good post (pithy and readable).
