"Failing to plan is planning to fail." It's called a cliche because it has
been around for so long. A good plan improves the Quality of the target
documents and thus delivers back more than it took from the process. As most
Math teachers are keen to point out, if you show your workings and how you
got to your answer, you still get a lot of points even if the final answer
is incorrect.
In the same way, if a doc plan has been made and the doc isn't up to
scratch, its a simple matter of adjusting the plan. In this way results can
be consistently achieved and quantification of future work is possible.
