Developing an action plan

An action plan will help you organise what has to be done, by whom and when. This is a worthwhile exercise, whether you are working with others or alone, as it will outline how you intend to proceed with the project.

Usually you take the framework, decide on the tasks that need to be done, add the names of people who will perform those tasks and work out the timeframe.

Take a look at the action plan developed for the Report on the Investigation into Entry into New Markets in the ValleyView Library.

You also remember an action plan you developed in the past for an investigation into car parking options for staff and Board members. The tasks have been jumbled. Put the action plan steps back into a logical sequence.
