No, because (as I've said before) there is no detailed plan. In fact, I
don't think you can plan a lot as DPL, since it's a job where the work
is thrown at you, rather than that you need to go look for it.

I honestly don't see what more I could tell you, without making up
examples. I do *not* want to do that, because that will always be
contrived and missing the point.
I've told you several times now what I plan to do as DPL: I intend to
copy the things from Stefano's way of working that I think make sense
(mostly in how he's done his communication), but I will focus less on
procedures and more on the people that make up the project.
What more do you want? There is nothing more to say than that.
