How the Manual is organized This manual is in the form of a question. Six questions actually: Why? Who? When? What? Where? How? Answer each question as best you can. At this stage of the planning process, a good guess is good enough to get the ball rolling. The process yields dynamic and unexpected results when you begin to consider how each answers impacts the other. The process of putting pencil to paper [literally] will start a creative and logistical process that helps you spot conflicts and opportunities. As you answer each question sequentially, you will start to see connections that only seem obvious in retrospect. The nagging question of “who” is suddenly apparent because you thought through the “where" or made minor adjustments to the “when.” You get the idea.
