How do you build action plan?

Answer 1

An action plan should be specific and time bound. All actions should be related to a root cause and should have a measurable outcome. In an action plan we must include; what the action is, what is required to complete the action ie. paper, pen ect., who will complete it, when it will completed and what the method for measurement is.

For example if we were writing an action plan for saving $100 by December 2009 it would go something like this:

Action: Save $100

Required: Income, bank account or money storing area.

Who: Myself

When: By December 2009

Measurement: Measured by monthly bank statements or counting of money.

Obviously if it were required to have more depth in the action plan this is possible by breaking it down into steps or by having an action which is a little more lengthy to explain, but this is the general idea.
