Planning Theater: The Play That's Killing Your Delivery
summary
Organizations set 12 weeks, 40 features on a spreadsheet and declare dates while delivery data tells a different story: velocity spikes then stalls with an 80% done after 3 weeks illusion, scope cuts, weekends and hired 10 consultants as a rescue. Claim: confidence must be measured, not declared. Use the delivery system’s actual throughput, work-in-progress and lead-time metrics, visualize and analyze them, surface reality to stakeholders early and mid-cycle, adapt the plan, and stop treating planning as a scripted performance that ends in missed deadlines and burnout.
