This document contains information about creating an action plan. An action plan outlines the specific tasks, time horizon, and resource allocation needed for a strategy to succeed. When writing an action plan, you should clarify your goal, write a list of necessary actions, analyze and prioritize the actions, organize the actions into a sequential plan, and regularly monitor and review progress toward the goal. The example provided is an action plan for creating a Promotions Committee at a university to consolidate all promotional activities. The plan outlines the rationale, expected outcomes, implementation strategy, offices involved, and budget for the committee.

2. What is action plan?
Steps that must be taken, or activities that must be
performed well, for a strategy to succeed. An action
plan has three major elements
(1)Specific tasks: what will be done and by whom.
(2) Time horizon: when will it be done.
(3) Resource allocation: what specific funds are
available for specific activities. Also called action
program.

3. How to write an action plan
When writing an action plan to achieve a particular
goal or outcome, you can get much help from the
following steps.
•Clarify your goal. Can you get a visual picture
of the expected outcome? How can you see if you
have reached your destination? What does make
your goal measurable? What constraints do you
have, like the limits on time, money, or other
resources.

4. •Write a list of actions. Write down all actions you
may need to take to achieve your goal. At this step focus
on generating and writing as many different options and
ideas as possible. Take a sheet of paper and write more
and more ideas, just as they come to your mind. While
you are doing this, try not to judge or analyze.
Analyze, prioritize, and prune. Look at your list of
actions. What are the absolutely necessary and effective
steps to achieve your goal? Mark them somehow. After
that, what action items can be dropped from in the plan
without significant consequences for the outcome. Cross
them out.

5. •Organize your list into a plan. Decide on the order
of your action steps. Start from looking at your marked key
actions. For each action, what other steps should be
completed before that action? Rearrange your actions and
ideas into a sequence of ordered action steps. Finally, look
at your plan once again. Are there any ways to simplify it
even more?
•Monitor the execution of your plan and review
the plan regularly. How much have you progressed
towards your goal by now? What new information you have
got? Use this information to further adjust and optimize your
plan.
