Rolling Wave Planning

Tags: #Rolling Wave Planning

Transcript

Boss: Team, here is the entire plan for our upcoming project. What's your analysis?

Swami: Wow, this looks like an elaborate and rational plan.

Dev: Boss, when there is not much project information available is there is a need for a detailed plan for the entire project. Instead, I suggest we use Rolling Wave Planning.

Boss: Dev, you were told to analyze the plan and not over-analyze. I would rather see you rolling up your sleeves and get the project rolling.

Dev(Thinking): I somehow don't get a good feeling. Hope I am proved wrong.

Rolling Wave Planning
Rolling Wave Planning is "an iterative panning technique in which work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in details, while the work in future is planned at a higher level."

Boss : Dev, change the color of the button from yellow to red. Move the tab slightly to the right. Add a human element on this page. By the way, why are you so behind schedule on this project?

Dev : Boss, I had taken care of on-ground realities but due to a certain hovering situation beyond my control the schedule went off-track.

Boss : Hovering?? What? Where?

Dev : Right where you are standing! my Helicopter Boss.. who else!

Project Resource Management
Micromanaging may work in specific cases but it often misses the bigger picture. It reduces staff's morale and working memory, makes it difficult for employees to develop fresh skills, acclimatize to new situations, and proves to be a huge distraction. Eventually, it may also result in loss of good employees.
