Is it possible to update my plans as we go? How?
It is always better to finalize a project plan at an early phase, then execute the plan to completion. Substantial changes during a project present a risk of substantial rework and corresponding unplanned costs. If plans must change, then change impact reviews should be conducted to explicitly identify any resulting costs. The goal should be to flush out major changes early on and thereby prevent changes later on in the project when the cost of change is higher.
