What is Rolling Wave Planning? - How to Create a Rolling Wave Plan

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Rolling wave planning is how traditional planned project management has dealt with uncertain futures. It is still a great complement to any planning and adds adaptability to our projects, while maintaining the ability to plan ahead and give our clients and bosses a clear idea of the project sequence. I discovered it at the start of my career and have been using it ever since.

Dear Mike, I am sooooo glad you finally published this video!! I remember we talked about this concept in the group mentoring program two years ago! I did go back in my emails to find out we did discuss rolling wave planning exactly two years ago in the June Partners Meeting call. Then you wrote in our follow up email “This, of course, leads us to the concept of rolling wave planning - about which I now realise I must do a video. Backlog!” Here's to a backlog item well checked! Ha ha! You bring such clarity to important concepts, I understood rolling wave planning a bit before today, but watching you video (and I will rewatch it again I'm sure), I feel like I learned something more! This is a testament to the quality of your work. Thanks!

Nicolas, I sadly don't recall the conversation, but the backlog system (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6XJZZ2Er9F1eNk for anyone reading this comment and not clear) certainly works. Astonishingly, with over 180 videos in my 'What is...' Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLsz8d8r2a994mqQQVM2ELvjmx_CUJATMq - I still have over 60 ideas on my backlog!

Sounds like Rolling Wave Planning would be useful for a wide variety situations.

It most certainly is, Dan. It's very flexible indeed.
