Agile Project Management (The Book) -- I've started reading this new book from Jim Highsmith. In it, he proposes project management as a five-phase process:
Envision, Speculate, Explore, Adapt, Close
While I'm still absorbing the material, the use of the word "speculate" resonates with me. It seems to be meant to replace "plan" in typical PM glossaries, and doing so, brings with it a far more flexible context than what is too often associated with "plans." You'll probably be reading more about this book here later.
