Systems Planning, in Guidelines for Improving Project Management, pages IV-1 to IV-11

Describes techniques which can be used to do effective planning, beginning with a statement of a problem and continuing to an organized description of what is to be done to solve it. The techniques are: Creating a Morphological Box, setting a Planning Horizon, using Activities and Objectives Trees, and finally constructing a Delta Chart to enable an understanding of the Activity Network. Warfield invented the Delta Chart while working at Battelle and this is likely the first time it appeared in print.  

 Appeared as an appendix to a report prepared for the Ohio Dept. of Education as Proceedings of a Workshop for Title III Directors, 1970. World Catalog Acession Number:1166390.   Part of IASIS collection titled "Education Papers by Warfield."   This material was shipped to Fenwick Library Special Collections, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA on 23 October, 2000.  (R.W. Circa 1999, updated May 2008)
