“So, what happened when you shared your plan with the team?” I asked.

Lisa winced. “Share my plan? Well, yes, I was planning to roll it out next week. Should be a big kickoff.”

“So, everyone is on board with the plan?”

“Well, they don’t know about it, yet. I mean, they know about the project, but I plan to share the details during the kickoff,” Lisa assured.

“Lisa, did you discover anything new while you were creating this plan?”

She nodded, “This plan has some wrinkles in it. It will require some specific changes to our process.”

“Why didn’t you know that before the plan?” I pressed.

“I guess I always knew it, but I didn’t see it until I wrote it all out,” Lisa agreed.

“Do you think your team might discover some things when they see the plan all laid out?”

“I suppose.”

“Is there a possibility that those discoveries might wreck your big Kickoff?”

Lisa face revealed a slight stare of anxiety. “You’re right, but I have already scheduled the Kickoff Meeting.”

“So, change the name of the meeting from the Kickoff Meeting to the Plan Review Meeting.”
