Is the plan no longer important?

We said that goals should be engraved on iron plates, and plans can only be written on the beach. This statement can easily lead to a misunderstanding, thinking that planning is not important. Actually not.

Even a plan that can only be written on the beach and is about to be washed away must be written down. Why? What do you think is the nature of the goal? Not where we must go, but our imagination of the future as a community.
This imagination of the future is the one that best unifies the consensus of all kinds of people in our team, so it is important.

What is the nature of the plan? That's the consensus now. It doesn't matter if you are washed away by the waves, write it later, write down the consensus and plan after iteration, and wait for it to be washed away.
Achieving the goal is a step-by-step process of taking this staged consensus and plan as a step.

Therefore, when the company meets, the person who writes the first plan often feels frustrated because a meeting will be opened and the plan will be changed beyond recognition.
In fact, all the participants have the heart in mind, and they would sincerely thank the person who provided the first step.
