What is an Implementation Plan?

This handout outlines the definition, components, and purpose of an implementation plan, as well as highlights best practices for individuals and teams to consider as they create their own implementation plans.

The Implementation plan handout is a planning tool used to document key aspects guiding a change effort. Ideally, implementation plans document the work to be done so that everyone is clearly aware of the scope, roles, responsibilities, data monitoring, communications, time frames, team structures, and related aspects.
