4 PHASE PROCESS

- Know the scope and limitation (budget, time and people)PLANNING
- Set a SMARTER Goal (Specific, measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time Bound, Energizing and Rewarding)
- Design activities that are aligned with the goal and decide in what order and within what time frame.
- Identify options (Risk Management and Contingency Plans)
MANAGING

- Ensure proper utilization of resources
CLOSING
