A traditional high level plan assumes first article inspection happens automatically. Inevitably, new part volume overwhelms incoming inspection resources, and engineers become frustrated waiting for their parts. The project manager is pressed into service as the inspection-backlog-prioritization manager.

Granularity enables multiple team members to tackle different parts of an activity in parallel. Instead of “Perform kink test” being handed off to one person, we might have one person writing the protocol and test method while someone else designs and builds the test fixture.

Granular plans may surprise you. You might be surprised by the number of fixtures to be designed or the number of prototype samples to be built, indicating that the project team might need a full time test engineer or assembly technician. This is really hard to see (and really hard to justify to management) with from a high level plan.
