Project Management Tip number 108 - Update that Plan
OK, so you slaved over it for weeks and you produced a perfect plan but then what do you do as the project progresses - you forget to update it - Duh !!
There is absolutely no point in having a plan if you do not update it regularly. The Project Plan is a living, breathing document which directly represents reality. If the project is 6 month long you need to be updating that plan on a weekly basis at least.
Another thing - any slippages in timescale need to be reflected in that plan. If you can then pull things back on track by re-scheduling or changing priorities that's great but make sure you reflect these changes in the plan.
The plan should mirror reality not fantasy.
