What is an Action Plan?
Action plans are documents that list and explain the steps or actions necessary to achieve a certain goal. They specify the resources needed and the timeline for implementation.
How to Create an Action Plan?
- Identify and outline your objectives and goals. Make sure the objective you choose is attainable in the timeframe you have and with the resources you have.
- Plan your action steps with a cross-functional team. Brainstorm together and identify the steps, which should be attainable and measurable.
- Use an editable action plan template from Creately to record information. Invite your team to complete it during the session via real-time collaboration.
- Identify those employees who will be responsible for implementing the action steps, as well as those supporting them.
- Calculate and breakdown the timeline for each action step. Create a clear schedule for carrying them out.
- Identify and list down the necessary resources for each task. If they are not currently available, figure out how to acquire them.
- Update the action plan template as you implement the steps. Monitor the progress and make changes as needed.
- Export your diagram as SVGs, PNGs, PDFs, etc. so you can easily publish, print, embed or share it with others.
