PLANS

Develop PLANS to see if the project is achievable:

P = Purpose of the projectL = Learning that must take placeA = Adaptations required by stakeholdersN = Needs (human, physical, financial)S = Support required to meet needs

(Ted Wall, 2005)

PLANS As a group, complete each of the

sections for PLANS Refer to the PLANS as you move

through MAP and ACT, which is the means for creating the action plan and time line for the project

(Ted Wall, 2005)

Action Plan: MAP/ ACTCreate a Main Activity and Products

Map (MAP):A MAP is a hierarchy of all the things a project needs

to produce (physical, human, financial) in order to achieve its objectives.

A Main Activity is anything that you would need to do with people to move the project forward.

A Product is anything you might need to produce for the project.

(Ted Wall, 2005)

Generate as many ideas for activities and products as possible on post-it notes- one idea per post-it note
