The Scientology Logics are a sophisticated method of thinking and problem solving. Logic 8 is "A datum can be evaluated only by a datum of comparable magnitude. "

In management, this is extremely important. It tells you right away why you have plans, and what information is needed in a plan. You will accumulate actual data on schedule and cost and technical performance as you manage a project. That actual data must be compared to data of comparable magnitude, which will be in the plans for that project. If planning does not exist, or does not contain information that can be compared to actual data as the project is executed, then management will not be able to correctly evaluate progress.

This is my criteria for developing the planning system for projects at my organization. Planning that does not meet this criteria would be wasted effort. My organization is noted for being among the very best in NASA in this field. That is not an accident. That is based on an understanding of fundamentals, including Logic 8.

The Scientology Logics are provided in: Scientology 0-8, The Book of Basics, which is available in Scientology bookstores.
