3.1.3 Plan for Next Steps Activity Description Required Practices Parameters and Limits Optional Practices Implementation Guidance Implementation Guidance Process Improvement Action Planning Following the delivery of the appraisal results, a plan for follow-on activities is determined. The planned follow-on activities are typically defined in the appraisal plan, reflecting sponsor requests for additional appraisal tasks and products necessary to meet appraisal objectives, or for a commitment to take action upon the appraisal results. Follow-on activities may include • development of a final report • development of a recommendations report or briefing • generation or update of a process improvement plan None. None. Planning for next steps is an optional, but recommended, appraisal activity. Planning for next steps includes optional activities such as • development of a final report by the appraisal team, summarizing the appraisal results for delivery to the appraisal sponsor • submission of appraisal team recommendations for action upon the appraisal findings • generation of a process improvement action plan for the organizational unit to act upon the appraisal findings In addition to specifying the activities to be performed, these plans usually include the assignment of responsibility, schedule, and estimated resources for the implementation of the follow-on actions. The plans established can be used to track the progress of the follow-on activities over time. Findings and recommendations from the appraisal team can be used by the organizational unit to establish action plans for process improvement. This is an optional output most often used in internal process improvement or process-monitoring applications of the appraisal method. Recommendations often include a prioritized list of improvement activities, including the development of an improvement plan that defines the tasks, schedules, and resources necessary for implementation. Follow-on appraisals are usually performed to verify improvement progress. This might include a combination of Class A, Class B, and Class C appraisals (refer to the ARC for additional details).

3.1.3 Plan for Next Steps (continued) Implementation Guidance Final Report Implementation Guidance Recommendations Report The purpose of the final report is to provide details or explanations beyond what was contained in the final findings. The generation of an appraisal final report is an optional activity that, if requested by the appraisal sponsor, documents the execution of the appraisal, contains detailed appraisal findings, and forms a basis for action planning. This baseline is used for subsequent reports and follow-on actions, and also may be an input for use in subsequent appraisals. Items contained or referenced in the final report, either in their entirety or as a subset, might include • executive summary of the appraisal process and results • appraisal input (see process 1.1) • appraisal plan (see process 1.2) • appraisal record (see process 3.2) The final report should be completed as soon after the appraisal as possible, preferably within four weeks. The appraisal team leader usually generates the final report; other team members may also contribute. The format and content of the final report may vary according to its intended use by the appraisal sponsor. In its simplest form, this could be a set of notes annotated to the final findings, elaborating on some aspect of the findings or capturing essential comments or recommendations from the appraisal team. If requested by the appraisal sponsor, appraisal team recommendations for taking action on the appraisal results can be provided. These recommendations can provide momentum to the appraisal follow-up by serving as a link between the appraisal findings and subsequent decision making or action plans. The emphasis of these recommendations depends on the appraisal sponsor’s objectives and planned use of the appraisal results, as defined in the appraisal input. This can vary widely based on the context in which the appraisal method is applied (e.g., internal process improvement, supplier selection, process monitoring). The recommendations report should be completed as soon after the appraisal on-site period as possible. Depending on the nature, complexity, and use of the recommendations, this may take as long as two months to produce. Rather than generate a separate recommendations report, a common alternative is to include these recommendations in the final report. It is important to consider the possibility that the expertise needed for making the appropriate recommendations may be beyond the level of expertise reflected on the team.
