Breaking Down a Goal or Mission into Tasks and Milestones to Create an Action Plan

Breaking Down a Goal or Mission to Create an Action Plan

To take a mission statement and turn it into something actionable we need to break down the overall mission into constituent parts. We then end up with a hierarchy of larger down to smaller activities. 

These various elements can be called different things, but I think about the overall vision and mission, and then break this down into various goals. Each goal is then broken down into key tasks, activities, and milestones. This then becomes the basis for the overall plan.

We might not achieve every single goal or task. We may need to adapt our plan along the way. But having targets to aim for is important as it inspires action, builds confidence and helps us gain momentum. Once we have a goal we can consider what tasks and milestones will help us achieve our aim.
