My plan for my project is broadly as it was last month. I am fairly comfortable with my dates at this stage and I do not intend to spend much time looking at the plan itself nor in changing my proposed dates nor the tasks within my plan. These tasks and dates might evolve as I work through my project but at this stage, I have nothing further to change about my plan.

I will look to produce a task for the literature review which I will fit into plan but at this stage there is no rush so will do this when I next review the plan.

I mentioned when I first setup the project plan that there are different approaches to this. Some people might plan every moment of their day, enjoy the minutiae of their plans, endlessly reviewing and tweaking and updating the plan. To others the plan was a broader document not to be considered a whole and complete version of the truth until later in the project. I was always at this more relaxed end of the spectrum when planning a project. As regards milestones, specific targets and interdependencies in a plan, I have often found that at the early stage such fine detail makes less sense than it does as a project nearing completion when it all seems to make more sense.

In broad terms, I am operating at an assignment per month, which seems to allow me to work at a good pace yet still allows me to go down the various rabbit holes of research.

The one part of my plan I am uncertain about is that I marked two practical projects in my plan. I do not know for sure at this early stage if I will build two test projects, or more or perhaps less. The answer depends on how my research goes and how I feel compelled to interpret my research through completed works.

I will check in will my tutor that my chosen approach to planning is acceptable.
