An Action Plan is a summary of what you are going to accomplish in your business over a specified period of time.

Use this template to:

1. Scope the big picture - Outline what you want to accomplish with objectives, budget, time and tie each deliverable to an action step.

2. Break out smaller tasks – Assign tasks to team members. Consider the deadlines in terms of allocating resources.

3. Create a list of action steps - For each task, prepare a list of to-dos ranked in sequential order.

4. Prioritize – Some steps are more important that others. Prioritize steps based on deadline, task, and the number of steps remaining.

5. Communicate - Circulate the plan to team members that have been assigned tasks.

6. Complete deadlines on time - Estimate when tasks will be finish based on the rate of action step completion.

7. Track results – Evaluate performance and implement continuous monitoring procedures to ensure the project stays on track.
