ׁ HINT. Write the plan on a task site whiteboard as this will make it easier to make amendments or updates.

As the task progresses more information may become available through further questioning, remote observation or first-hand experience. There should be continual evaluation conducted throughout the task to allow this new information to be incorporated into the plan.

ׁ WARNING. Endeavor to return to using remote means wherever possible.
