Develop Work Plan

The last step in building a Just Communities Roadmap is the creation of a detailed work plan to guide implementation. This action creates a plan with critical tasks for each strategy, the organization(s) with primary implementation responsibility, estimated implementation costs, potential sources of funding, and an implementation schedule.

Activities

Prepare the draft work plan

Use the Work Plan Template and include the following elements:

  • Strategies. List each strategy by Commitment.
  • Critical tasks. Identify high level key tasks to implement each strategy.
  • Responsible party. Identify lead organization with primary responsibility for delivery for each strategy.
  • Products/outcomes. Describe key outputs or achievements for each strategy.
  • Timeline. Identify critical dates for progress for each strategy. If specific dates are unknown, use short-term for those to deliver in 1-3 years; mid-term for those to deliver in 4-6 years; and long-term for those to deliver in more than 7 years.
  • Funding. List estimated cost of implementation per strategy and sources of funding to cover costs to plan and implement the strategy. Describe if funding is available, pending, or unavailable/uncertain)
Refine and finalize the work plan

Answer the following questions:

  • What do we need to add to the work plan to support achievement of our vision?
  • What modifications are necessary to ensure achievement of targets?
  • Does the Community Network support the work plan? If not, what can we do to gain that support?

Engagement

  • Meet with individual implementation partners, including funders, to review the draft work plan and make relevant modifications.
  • Convene the Community Network to review the work plan and to provide additional input.
