Updating Performance Plans
Keep number of elements to a minimum Put the most important work results elements first
make sure standards go beyond activities to describe the RESULTS needed for fully successful
Put any soft or behavioral elements later Don’t forget mandatory EO/CR content Discard language that doesn’t say anything Keep everything that you like from existing
elements Think about what you want for “EXCEPTIONAL”
