Seems too fairytale-esque to me.

The idea of writing down all the steps required, aka way too many steps, some people love to tell you all the ways things are impossible and "you will need to do X too". When after the fact you discover X wasn't important.

The best project manager I ever had was a young woman from Russia. She came over as a student shortly after the wall fell. She was extremely hard working, very sharp, and spotted bullshit from miles away.

Legit. I think people spend too much on planning instead of focusing on getting to work and closer to the finished output. If you are fixated on a plan... good luck dealing with situations that throw you off piste.
