Transition to Maintenance: Planning

Elina, you said it all right here "It's a dangerous and difficult time, one minute you are on top of the world, the next you are shaking with fear that this will all come crashing down because it is not as structured as before."  This is how I felt sooooo many times in the very early stages of maintenance (I still consider myself a newbie at this since I've only been doing it 6 months). 

R, Planning is GREAT!...but also be flexible enough to let it evolve.  I know that you are going to do fantastic at this just like you kicked butt in the losing phase.  Welcome to our world!
