Planner authority

Planning decisions should be deliberate, accountable, and visible.

Why authority matters

When anyone can reschedule the plan, accountability disappears. Dates drift, and the schedule becomes a moving target instead of a shared contract.

Consequent’s separation of roles

Planners own scheduling decisions.

Contributors report progress on assigned tasks.

Management sees clear, up-to-date outcomes.

The benefit

The schedule stays stable and explainable. Changes are intentional, not automatic.
