for implementation .
Do
After plan has been made and action plan has been decided one has to put these into
implementation . It would include training of people ,scheduling ,followup and other
project management activities . Sometimes these would not shape in would results in
failure .Then we have to back to first stage of planning .
Check
Once plan is implemented then results would flow . These are then compared with the
results planned .Deviation are recorded and improvement proposed to achieve the results
.
Act
