Planning for delivery
It is now important to identify the requirements for the successful delivery of each of the actions. This includes identifying those responsible for delivering each action, the time by which it needs to be completed, and how it will be verified that the action has indeed been completed. It may also be helpful to describe any resources needed to complete the action.
If planning in further detail is required, a more in-depth project plan can be developed separately, such as a Gantt chart. This could include high-level tasks, more detailed activities, the people responsible, timescales, milestones, meetings, and monitoring of progress of activities against the project plan.

Planning evaluation
It is also important to monitor the system and determine if the implemented actions are effective in practice. This is because actions may not always work in exactly the way expected. Monitoring the system can help in deciding whether to continue an action or to consider alternatives and, in some cases, whether to implement actions on a wider scale. This links with the on-going Monitor system activity in the Manage phase of the SSA.
To do this, it is helpful to identify Evaluation measures or outcome measures. These will vary according to the action and its intended consequences. For example, an action may be intended to reduce the likelihood of there being insufficient staff available and having to pull them from other areas of the unit. In this case, an evaluation measure might be the frequency of incidents in which this occurs.
