What makes a good action plan?

Updated yesterday

What does good Action Planning look like?

  • Goal setting: clearly defining the objectives or outcomes you want to achieve. These goals should be specific, measurable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

  • Task identification: identifying the specific actions that need to be completed to achieve the defined goals.

  • Responsibilities: assigning responsibilities to individuals or teams for each task. This ensures accountability and helps clarify who is responsible for what.

  • Deadlines: Establish timelines and deadlines for each task to ensure that progress is monitored, and the action planning stays on track.

  • Sequencing: deciding the order in which action planning should be completed, considering dependencies and priorities.

  • Monitoring and evaluation: setting up mechanisms to track progress, measure outcomes and make necessary adjustments to the plan as needed.

  • Communication: ensuring that all stakeholders are informed about the action plan, their roles and the progress being made.
