Navigator in Action - Developing an action plan

An action plan helps to structure and co-ordinate efforts when actually starting on life cycle management. An action plan should define the issues to be tackled, set up indicators that help to track the progress and list actions to be taken. An overview on required information and resources, persons in charge and a concrete timetable should also be included. Once the action plan stands, dissemination in the company can help to implement the projects to be undertaken.
