Once <strong>the</strong> initiators of <strong>the</strong> conference “Get Out of <strong>the</strong> Cave” have<br />

conducted basic discussions with friends, colleagues and stakeholders<br />

about <strong>the</strong> execution of <strong>the</strong> project, concrete individual planning<br />

can begin. In traditional project management, <strong>the</strong> next step involves<br />

first developing <strong>the</strong> project structure. In planning meetings,<br />

individual tasks are specified, divided into subtasks and individual<br />

steps (work packages) (see Fig. 19.1 and Fig. 19.2). This detailed<br />

and hierarchical division will help in <strong>the</strong> subsequent assessment of<br />

how much time is required for <strong>the</strong> individual project steps and when<br />

which tasks are to be completed. Thus, organizers are forced to develop<br />

a clear picture of <strong>the</strong> overall project. 23 Our hunters and ga<strong>the</strong>rers<br />

first roughly define which subtasks <strong>the</strong>y must complete in <strong>the</strong><br />

course of <strong>the</strong> entire project. Their structure diagram for <strong>the</strong> conference<br />

looks like this:<br />

23 You can find assistance and ideas on planning work steps in respective<br />

technical literature, e.g. Portny 2001, 69-91.<br />
