    Planning
    We went to the Royal Shakespeare Company's costume sale in Stratford-upon-Avon today.
    Held in the rehearsal rooms, and I found the walk down the corridor interesting.
    They plan the production by wallpaper, literally papering the wall and dividing it off into sections of the process.

    I really love this step !
    Something that must be in every project plan, and if it takes place at a defined time, and then only minor adjustments follow, it seems like a good thing.

    Thanks for sharing that, Paul. That is an interesting plan documentation system. I wonder if it would be possible to replicate it with software? Or has someone already done it?

    It's just not as accessible with software.
    It takes any input, sketches, cartoons, you can link items just by drawing lines.
    I haven't seen any software that can match a large piece of paper and some pens.
    How much would the monitors cost to cover the walls, with 18-20 steps each this big?
    You can walk along the corridor and see the steps in sequence, not flick through them one at a time.
    As a planning feedback tool, it works well.
