Jeff asks a pretty big question:
Ben,
Could we get a discussion around the efficacy of backward planning vs. stories and other CI activities? Do we find that it is equally effective to focus on high frequency verbs etc. and then begin to “backward” plan later?
I can admit that I suck at backward planning. I like it. I have seen people do it in amazing ways. I just suck at it because I have no time. I much prefer to grab a script, especially in years one and two or a movie etc. and work with that for a week or two focusing on high frequency stuff. I also feel like I can recycle those verbs better if I pick them.
Can we be just as effective without backward planning? I still think that I am going too wide when I backward design. I am not knocking backward design, I just was wondering if others don’t do that and have successful outcomes.
Jeff
