What is an action plan?

  • Does what
  • What resources are necessary
  • Until when

How can you apply this method?

1. Invite your team

Invite your team members for a short activity to prepare the action plan. It is important to involve the whole team in this process.

2. State project goal

For the team's interest, state the project goal for the action plan, where you are, and where you want to be.

3. Define tasks and set milestones

List out the different tasks and milestones for the project. These will be considered as action steps. Organize the tasks based on what has the highest priority and should start the earliest.

4. Define “Who”

For each action plan, list out the team/person responsible for carrying out the task.

5. List resources needed

For each action step, list the necessary resources needed to complete the task and a plan to acquire these resources. (includes the budget)

6. Set deadlines

It is important to set a realistic deadline. The dates should be consulted with the person in charge of the task

7. Monitor, Evaluate, and Update

Think about how to evaluate the task's progress and how to update the action plan continuously. This can be done by defining metrics for evidence that shows progress and improvement.
