Build the Right Plan
Build an outcome-first plan that targets one bottleneck, fits real capacity, and gives every task a measurement contract.
Lessons
- 01Name the outcome firstSet one primary target with a baseline, a target value, and dates before you build a plan, so every task has an outcome to be measured against.
- 02Set the planning focus and the success contractAnchor the plan on one Planning Focus, and confirm each measured task names its target, metric, source, and measurement window.
- 03Fit the plan to capacity and the growth modelCut the plan down to the current bottleneck and your real weekly capacity, and park the remaining findings deliberately.
- 04Treat recommended work as advice, not ordersRead the reasoning behind recommended work, then accept, edit, or skip it based on what you know about the business.
- 05Edit, reorder, skip, or discard a plan responsiblyChange a plan on purpose by reordering work, skipping with a reason, adding custom tasks, reviewing suggestions, and discarding when evidence says no.
- 06Distinguish a fresh plan from a reassessmentTell whether a plan is completed, stale, or the wrong bet, and choose between closing it out, rebuilding from new evidence, and starting fresh.
- 07Close out the plan and keep the learningRecord results for completed tasks, judge the plan against its target, and carry what it taught into the next plan.
