Whatever projects you do, you need to have a clear and accurate action plan. Here are a few ideas to make a good action plan. First, know your goals. If you don't know where you're going, you're likely to end up anywhere, or even nowhere. The action plan should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed (SMART). It will take you toward the completion of that goal. Next, list the necessary strategies that will be used to realize the goals. Be clear about very important events, and also any hidden difficulties you may meet. Break large tasks into smaller ones. Set deadlines for each task. Without clear deadlines, some tasks may never get completed. Thirdly, follow your plan and don't stop until it's finished. Once your plan is made and shared with the team, the next step is simple: take daily action and make sure that everyone is doing their part. Finally, change the date if you must, but never give up on the goals. Sometimes unexpected situations and events can appear and prevent you from finishing the tasks on time.
