Plan-Driven Planning
In contrast to Value-Driven Planning, Plan-Driven Planning focuses on simply achieving the goal.
It establishes a targeted that must be reached, and aids in devising a plan to get you there.
Items on target list become your Planning Drivers such as: completing a set of documents, completing a task, arrival of new resource, getting a document signed off, etc., and, achieving the planned goal is more valuable than how the goal was achieved.
In this case, how you achieve the goal doesn’t matter as much as simply saying that the goal has been achieved. For example, if two people are assigned the task of delivering a product within a 1-year time frame, a Plan-Driven individual would be content to use the entire time to reach the goal, whereas a Value-Driven person would not only work to achieve the goal, but also seek to reduce the amount of time it takes to accomplish the goal—and possibly release two products within one year.
