Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The purpose is too broad to review. Explain what the intended customer conversation should address before submitting the plan.
  • The plan changes after a decision. Resolve the changed revision through the agreed review procedure before relying on earlier approval.
  • A due date is mistaken for completion. Record the actual contact outcome and supporting evidence before closing the work.
