First thing you should ask is who are you communicating this information to and what do they need to know and if applicable visa versa? Could be you tomorrow morning, you in six months time or some eldritch reporting structure and so on. All the artifacts you produce (or get someone else to produce and maintain) are a result of focusing on that as they’re tools to communicate rather than things that must exist.

In particular making big lists is a curse because they will never ever remain current, tend to grow much bigger and swallow time as you groom them in to other smaller lists you intend to do something with but find have suddenly become their own intractably large lists.

Much better to have a coarse plan and add detail as you get to it and be happy to delete things as well as add them. Then make sure you’re regularly revisiting the plan to make sure it still makes sense.
