Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
— Sun Tzu
The Plan is the Strategy for the successful completion of the project. The Plan shows the points in the project where assessment of product or service maturity should take. The Plan describes the Significant Accomplishments and the Accomplishment Criteria needed for assessing the maturity.
The Schedule describes the sequence of work needed to produce the Accomplishment Criteria - Exit Criteria from the Work Packages containing the tasks.
Both the Plan and the Schedule are needed.
