The BUSI 431 Week 7 method, step by step
Start from the need
Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.
Write measurable objectives
Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (Scholarly research and the textbook).
Plan the resources and timeline
List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.
Plan the evaluation
Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.
Format and length
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within Not set in the guide; follow the project instructions, in current APA.
Read the whole plan as a group for consistency, since drafts written by different members often disagree on prices, targets or territories.
