Prioritize• Outcomes – Relations Diagram• Targets and actions within the

outcomes• Information and skills that

stakeholders need• Resources

“What’s your current status for each action?”

“What steps will move you forward?”

“Which actions will you include in your initial plan?”

Make sure to address each outcome in the plan….

Copy actions directly from the outcome form…
