The problem is, you need to do some planning. The question is, what's the way of doing planning that takes the least amount of time and effort, and still gets done what needs done?

The metodologies and all of the aforementioned tools are fine. But instead of using them to stay in the schedules with less, we used them to make more in the same amount of time. We pursued efficiency ("more with less") and profit instead of keeping the profits constant and give more free time to people. In other words, economic growth demand eroded the margin that we gained through these efficiencies.
