Early in any endeavor is a need to generate realistic plans.
Crafting a plan requires knowledge of the activity’s foundations, the nature of the work (e.g., scientific or technical research), the resources available and needed, and supporting technologies and organizations, all set against a background of circumstances and desired futures.
