“My writing is carefully planned, and a spreadsheet collects my scene-by-scene word count and provides a projection of overall word count based on average words per scene so far. Thus, I could quickly realize if, for example, I was headed for an impractical word count of 30,000 words or 250,000 words.”

NoteBox Disorganizer, the "spreadsheet" for writers

Oh, yeah, baby.
I wish I could hit the goals every time I set them. Before computers, I did this manually, and sometimes succeeded. But more often than not life and other projects got in the way.
But project management works for many writers. Create a spreadsheet and go. Or just go; that's how someone like Michael Miller can write a book in one month.
