We keep projects clean, not tasks

The planning system now aims for well-planned projects rather than tidy task lists. Each active project should have a clear objective, a definition of done, an owner and, when it is significant, an LTP or issue tree; its tasks are up to the project owner. We no longer plan organisation-wide task sweeps, task data clean-ups or a data steward routine, since tasks go in and out of date too fast to be worth policing centrally. It follows the tree picture of our work: plan at the branches (projects), and let each owner look after the leaves (tasks). Initiative priorities were also set on 2 November, with Podcast & YouTube at four stars.
