Clarify what matters
What outcome would make this work worthwhile? Who will use or be affected by the result? These questions establish a shared starting point.
Understand the boundaries
What timing, budget, or operational constraints should the plan respect? Which decisions need input from others? Clear boundaries help avoid surprises.
Define a good next step
How will you review progress, and what should happen after the first milestone? A useful plan makes those answers visible from the start.
