Planning (திட்டமிடுதல்)
The couplet below brings forth the importance of Planning. Though the message
is obvious, there are many projects languishing on account of bad planning and
in many cases the whole project has to be abandoned involving high cost and
time. During the planning phase, expert’s assistance should be taken for
counseling. However, once the plan is finalised after detailed
deliberations, there should not be any
after thought and revision of the frozen
plan, as that would destabilise the whole project, resulting in wastage of resources and precious time.
American President Abraham Lincoln’s quotation of “Give me six hours to chop
down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe” is very apt in
this context.

நன்கு திட்டமிட்ட பிறகே வேலையைத் தொடங்க வேண்டும்
தொடங்கி விட்டு பின் திட்டமிடுவது மோசம்
A task should be undertaken only after careful planning:
Reviewing a plan after the task is taken up will be totally wrong.
Planning Process (திட்ட செயல்முறை )
The following “Kural”
enunciates the absolute need to carry out planning before embarking upon a task
or project through in-depth analysis of a project’s objectives, followed by
detailed parametric impact analysis considering the various possible obstacles
as well as overall final gain that will accrue at the end. In short, it advises
the need for good home work to avoid “ taking decision in haste and suffering
in leisure” syndrome. It is in fact, reinstatement of the earlier couplet to stress
the importance of ‘ cost benefit analysis’.This also stresses the need for
estimating ‘ Return on investment (ROI) before zeroing on the task.
He deals with, important factors to be taken in to account during the
planning process. It is amazing to observe
that he had compressed in a nut shell present day selection process
of carrying out parametric analysis, of
important factors influencing the task, preceding the launch of a project,
product or services. This brings to light, the highly developed status of society
prevailing at that time.

Identification of the task, needed Resources, infrastructure,
the
appropriate time and the most suitable
location are five important parameters to be analysed without confusion before
taking decision to start a task or project.
