Action Plans

To write an action plan, you need to do the following things. You can choose whether you want to use a Word table or an Excel spreadsheet or another method of organising your thoughts.

1. List all the steps you need to take a to solve the problem.
2. Put the steps into order.
3. Include testing the solution if you have not done so.
4. Include consultation with clients and stakeholders if you have not done so.
5. Decide on milestones. A milestone will occur after a group of related steps have happened. An example of a milestone might be "All resources have been located and saved".
6. Set target dates for each milestone.
