## Overview

Plans fail in predictable ways: the clock is spent at the top and starved at the bottom, the why lives in one head, the directive's unwritten tasks surface at the worst moment, one favorite option is dressed up with two decoys, and risk is absorbed silently by whoever stands closest to it. Twelve skills under five pillars (Shared Understanding, Disciplined Analysis, Option Discipline, Risk Ownership, and Decisive Communication) each produce an artifact built on your real work. Every artifact has the same test: could someone act on this without you in the room?

## Competency pillars

- Shared Understanding
- Disciplined Analysis
- Option Discipline
- Risk Ownership
- Decisive Communication

## Modules and Terminal Learning Objectives

### Module 1. Planning Foundations

Action: Establish the time plan, intent statement, and team roles for a real planning effort. Condition: Given the common conditions stated in How to Use. Standard: Participant produces a Planning Clock Card with a backward-planned timeline honoring the one-third/two-thirds rule and a named handoff (receiver, format, time); a 3P Intent that survives a no-explanation pair test by a partner two levels removed; and a completed four-role charter whose Challenger passes the credibility rule.

### Module 2. Understanding the Situation

Action: Analyze a real directive and its operating arena to produce the task, constraint, information, and effects picture a plan must be built on. Condition: Given the common conditions stated in How to Use. Standard: Participant produces an SSC Breakdown with verbatim stated tasks, at least three surfaced silent tasks, a defended Critical few of three or fewer, and a ledger whose assumptions carry owners, validation plans, and replan triggers; a four-lens Arena Scan in which every lens ends in an effect on own options; and a DCI List where every item links to a named pending decision with one owner and a latest-time-of-value traced to the decision's clock.

### Module 3. Options and Decision

Action: Develop, pressure-test, and compare distinct options against pre-set criteria, and brief a recommendation. Condition: Given the common conditions stated in How to Use. Standard: Participant team produces two-plus options passing the Doable/Distinct/Complete/Fits screen under criteria frozen before generation (freeze time logged), with kills named by screen; a Pressure Test record with at least two decision points carrying observable triggers and pre-decided branches; and a weighted Decision Matrix with evidence-cited scores, an honest sensitivity finding, and a briefed recommendation whose tradeoffs are visible.

### Module 4. Communicating and Executing

Action: Convert a decision into a five-part order, confirm shared understanding through brief-backs and rehearsal, and establish an owned risk register. Condition: Given the common conditions stated in How to Use. Standard: Participant produces a complete five-part Marching Order with the intent carried verbatim, every task a verb with one owner and a time, triggers from the Pressure Test in the Plan, and every task funded in Provisions; conducts a brief-back meeting the own-words standard with text defects fixed; and builds a risk register with sourced, rated risks, controls carrying named owners, and residual risk accepted by name at a defended level.
