When you create a story, you have roles.
And every role, has a script that is consistent with the role.
The behavior has to be consistent with:
- game
- execution of the game
- expectations from anybody you interact with
But the interesting part is: if you properly define the roles, you can script also the expected behavior of other participants without their knowledge.
From the concept of “script”, to the definition of roles and their interaction in real-life situations, a needed addition to the discussion about models, change, planning and all the associated activities.

If you identify the “risks”, what could affect the conditions that you assumed that could affect your execution of the plan, then you will end up monitoring that:
- you are using the resources identified if, when, how planned
- the risks you already decided to keep under control
- whatever new happens around you that could affect your plan
- last but not least: that the activity you planned for still makes sense
It is not just the journey that you have to keep in check; it is also the destination.

GMN2009: PROGRESS
You do not need to know just what you are supposed to do, but also where you are, and where you should be.
If you are a perfect project manager with all the certifications required: probably you should skip this section, as it could be depressingly simple.
But it is not just progress itself- is the measuring and definition of progress that matter.

In my definition, a plan is neither cast in stone, nor just an intellectual exercise done because it is supposed to be done.
But what, after defining a model of your reality, and identifying the changes required and their impacts, should be part of your planning activity?

This blog, beside being a personal blog, is a commentary on technology & politics.
If you follow my blog here or on draugiem.lv, you know that since February, when I started publishing online this blog, I publish here more “business-oriented” items.
But I publish first on my other publishing venue items that, beside containing containing something more about “how” I did come to develop certain ideas or approaches; only when at least 40 readers visited a post there, appeared here.
Today, a “mirror image publishing” to simplify accessing only the business-oriented posts.
