The intention of Germany is to conquer France as fast as they could, as well as striking Russia afterwards.

Germans was forced to abandon Schlieffen plan by the compulsion from Russia, this forceful abandonment is as a result of sudden mobilization made by Russia which made the Germans to get out in troops to wage war against Russia at Eastern Front.

I don't think Germany could have won the war if it had stuck with the Schlieffen plan, reasons is that if Germany has failed to get out in troops like they did, gotten through France would have been possible, the bad news there is that Russia would have assaulted them violently unawared.
