Most people will stick to the schedule more than to the goals.The Plan will become and end by itself. The false sense of safety givenby a Plan, a schedule and tools in general will go against the goals.Moreover, the more you advanced the project, the greater theresistance to change the Plan will be.

You should treat major tactical challenges %ithout regard to past history. *f the goal is to

be secured, you go into &ap'(ased )elivery mode by focusing just in your goal. You %ill useevery available resourcein order not just to complete the $lan, but in order to bring about %iththe desired results, under current assumptions, current reality, current ris+s and, above all,ta+ing in account the substantially ne% value system. or thats the main change: prioritieschanged.
