I would submit though that a 5 year plan that is anything more than a couple of paragraphs of intent is in fact a waste of time.

- ErrantX 17y agoEntirely depends what your planning. I've only written one 5 year plan admittedly but it was 4 pages long - and will guideline the project for that time.
- run4yourlives 17y agoIf your project is 5 years long, it's really a series of smaller projects. There isn't much that can be anticipated 5 years down the line, but I'm willing to hear any examples that you have.
- ErrantX 17y agoWe've never been a big fan of "splitting things up" (I know others are) because it tends to over complicate matters :) Examples - they should be obvious. 5 years isnt a great long time in some industries (Operating systems perhaps, Chip manufacturing etc etc.). Our example is case management software - it's a good 5 year plan, Im sure it will work with little modification (18 months in things are going nicely).
- astrec 17y agoDepends on your industry, doesn't it? For example, coal seams will pretty much be where you left them in 5 years hence why we see detailed excavation plans out to 50 years.
