It seemed pretty obvious to me from day one here that there is a lack of good planning on this project (see attached photo of the program for this week). Work is done as it presents itself and as long as the team is doing as much as they can it doesn’t seem to matter how much progress is made towards the end goal (or away from it as it feels some days). My nature and experience says otherwise (that we must be able to plan things logically) and I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to come up with a way to do this (mainly in the form of a spreadsheet accounting for estimates, actual progress and work remaining). It is killing me that I can’t find a way but for every “rule” that one can establish there is a reason it won’t work (community disputes, lack of data, rain etc). When I get frustrated with a problem like this I generally try to go back to basics. Working things up from first principles often makes the picture clearer. We will see.
