Operational planning involves short-term tactical actions to achieve strategic goals over a 6-month period. Key steps in operational planning include performing a SWOT analysis to identify internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. Goals are then formulated using the SMART framework and means or actions are identified for each goal. A work schedule, timetable, and budget are created to monitor progress. The plan should be regularly reviewed and updated through re-planning.
