7		What this template does	Detailed plan vs. general work plan
8		A detailed work plan is the most thorough version of a work plan - it adds the deliverable each task feeds and the dependencies that could block it.	The general Work Plan is enough for most projects. This version is for the ones with several teams, several deliverables, and real dependency chains.
9		Organises work by phase, then by deliverable, so the team sees not just tasks but what those tasks produce.	Use the general Work Plan for smaller or simpler efforts. Use this one when a task slipping could delay several others.
10		Tracks planned dates, owner, dependencies, effort, and status per task.	Update this plan weekly. Review dependencies whenever a date changes.
11		Works alongside the general Work Plan - use this version once a project has enough moving parts that a lighter one starts losing context.

13		How to fill it in	Task status guide
14		1. List every phase the project will go through.	Not started: task is in the plan but work has not begun.
15		2. Under each phase, list the deliverables it produces.	In Progress: actively being worked on.
16		3. Break each deliverable into tasks with one owner each.	Blocked: cannot proceed — dependency not met or issue raised.
17		4. Set start and deadline dates, and note any dependencies.	Done: complete and reviewed.
18		5. Estimate effort in days and update Status weekly.	Deferred: moved to a later phase or sprint.
