N. Detailed planning<br />
By the stage where you begin detailed planning, you should have a pretty good<br />
picture of where you are, what you want to achieve <strong>and</strong> the range of options<br />
available to you as the most likely to yield the results required.<br />
Detailed planning is the process of working out the most efficient <strong>and</strong> effective<br />
way of achieving the aim you have defined. It is the process of determining who<br />
will do what, when, where, how <strong>and</strong> why <strong>and</strong> at what cost.<br />
O. Identifying key activities<br />
The first stage is in the process is to identify the key actions that need to be<br />
performed in order to achieve the aim of the plan. If these actions are large <strong>and</strong><br />
complex, reduce them down to a number of smaller key actions.<br />
For each of these key actions, plan out how they will be achieved, working out<br />
the time that will need to be taken <strong>and</strong> the resources that will need to be<br />
allocated to achieve the action. This will allow you to calculate the costs of that<br />
action.<br />
