The BUSI 489 Week 6 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
Write objectives that name the audience, the behavior or outcome, the level and the time frame.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (The case, the textbooks and the planning software).
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
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within Set in the section instructions, in current APA.
Present a checklist of documents with their status (in place, outdated, missing) and the recommended action, then explain any trust or titling strategy in plain terms.

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
We recommend wills for both of you naming your sister as guardian, a revocable living trust to hold your home so it passes without probate, and updated beneficiary designations on all retirement accounts and life insurance. Your estate is well below the federal estate tax exemption, so the plan focuses on control, privacy and care for your children rather than tax.
