Updated Summary

As I mentioned in my first Project Plan summary, it has been said that if something
is worth doing, it is worth measuring, and this project plan reflects that philosophy.

Fast forward to this point in time, and interestingly enough, the data have revealed
a quotation paraphrased from John Steinbeck, which is the best laid plans of mice
and men oft go astray. One of my major discoveries in this project has been that
nearly every plan I’ve made with respect to when it takes place and how it occurs
has changed during the course of this engagement.

This supports having an active planning strategy to implement when plans face
interruption. Anything less is not enough preparation for the tasks at hand, and
risks falling short of client expectations for the best product possible.
