Does anyone out there have any tips on how to get people to plan. I dont mean the mechanics, I mean the sitting down and drawing up a list of work to do and putting some dates to it.
Ive got 2 small commercial projects, where the sub-contractors wont go past the "we can do that all in the time available" and another where they just dodge the whole issue. Ive also got a charity project where they seem to be waiting for everything to overwhelm them.
I know the old "failing to plan...." and much more besides.
I am just a lowly "project manager" [no authority as usual, the project sponsor couldnt give up that much power] and would love any "proven" methods for shocking people into planning.
