Every implementation plan comprises of some key components that need to be analyzed and thought-through
before communicating the plan with your team:
1. Outline Goals/Objectives:
Start with defining the goals and objectives of the implementation plan. do you want to accomplish?
is the project scope? Why are these goals important? How do these goals fit into the overall
organizational vision and mission?
2. Assign Responsibilities:
Assigning roles and responsibilities provides a clear picture of what needs to be done and by whom. The
clearer you define these responsibilities, the easier it will be to keep people accountable.
3. Implementation Schedule:
Schedules track, communicate, and keep an eye on progress for your project, keeping all
stakeholders in the loop with what’s going on.
4. Resource Allocation:
One of the main purposes of an implementation plan is to make sure that your team has access to enough
resources in order to execute the plan effectively and without any hiccups. Make sure you know exactly
what you need, how much you already have, and how you will procure what’s needed.
5. Define Metrics:
How will you determine project success? Every implementation plan must identify KPIS (Key Performance
Indicators) to establish how it will measure success and failure. This also allows you to measure progress
and celebrate milestones to keep the team excited.
6. Contingency Plan:
Planning for challenges is as important as planning for success. Make a plan for how your team will
navigate rough waters in case you get over-budget, don’t have enough resources, or are approaching
deadlines. This way you won’t get off-track when challenges arise and you will be able to steer clear of
them easily.
