Overview: Project managers and executives blindfold themselves during the process of conceiving and then planning projects. In planning, they focus only on due dates and the features, bells and whistles of the project, denying them the opportunity to strategically set the project’s course. A key ingredient of the project blindfold is the absence of clear and unambiguous strategic checkpoints in the project. Each checkpoint should be an objectively measurable business achievement not the completion of some "to do" list of activities which we hope will yield something of value. Starting work without strategic project planning is faster and requires very little thinking, it’s sort of like having your luggage delivered straight to a lifeboat rather than to your cabin.
