When documents are cheating - you!

Especially with early documents such as Project proposal,s Project Idea Descriptions etc. one must be careful because they are often formulated and written by PA's or similar ministering spirits. Therefore it may very well be the case that one half thought out idea from the boss suddenly appears as an articulate, organized and such straight-to-go-to document. But the reality is just that the writer has made ​​it from own experience of the situation and not least of possible approaches!

Well you say - will it not be discover it when the boss sees it through? No, a good boss will only look at whether the overall things are in place and not the details.

The problem is that your imagination that this particular puzzle solving approved is made by the boss and therefor following it too far.

So what do you do? You go through the document with the writer and then asks into the whole process and get clarification on what is decided and what is open. Expect that 80% of the solution space is open for discussion - if you want to discuss!
