A funding agency asked us to produce a more robust project plan for a consultancy.
We were not sure how this adjective could be applied to a project plan but it turned out to mean more detailed. We are still trying to work out how we can produce a detailed project plan when the project is going to be carried out by a consultant and they are meant to be 'exploring all options'.
Telling them what we would be doing on 5 September, and who would be accountable for doing it, apparently makes a project plan more robust. We think it just makes it more of a fiction.
