Step 6 — Manage the process
Participants should consider how the process will be managed as it moves along.
Meeting and conference logistics, coordinating schedules and activities, circulating
materials for review, and clarifying assignments are details that have to be addressed
and can make or break the planning process.A common structure that balances
participation and manageability is to establish a smaller support group (the core
support team) and a larger planning committee (the MAPP committee).
Subcommittees—which may be convened as the community proceeds through the
MAPP process—can oversee specific activities.
The “Matrix of Participation” and “Roles Within Each Phase of MAPP”—located on the
MAPP Web site—can assist with developing a plan to manage the process.
