Appendix B: Action Planning Template
Action Planning groups will vary based
on each initiative. OPRs and OCRs will
determine the best way to execute action
planning based on initiative complexity,
dependencies, and program management
preferences. The Action Planning
Considerations Worksheet can be used
as a template to aid OPRs and OCRs in
planning and execution efforts28 but is not
required (see Figure 6).
