Edwin Catmull Quotes
But I should caution that if you seek to plot out all your moves before you make them—if you put your faith in slow, deliberative planning in the hopes it will spare you failure down the line—well, you’re deluding yourself.

So if your primary goal is to have a fully worked out, set-in-stone plan, you are only upping your chances of being unoriginal.
