It should include a measurable difference between your goal (\"what good looks like\") and the outcome you are currently experiencing. \n\nFor example: Pretend you are addressing an unusually high accident rates on certain city streets. \n\nYou have a goal of a safe city for our citizens by reducing traffic accidents. What good looks like is a reduction in car accidents to at least national average for comparable urban areas. The problem you are facing is that the city is not as safe for citizens as it can be. You know this because the accident rate in certain areas is significantly above the national average. \n"]

Something else must be happening to contribute to the higher accident rate.\n\nAs you investigate and ask \"why?\", you discover there are no stop signs on the streets with higher accident rates.

You should be able to use this as you complete your project to determine whether you are on track or off track.\n\nActivities are the specific actions that you have to take in order to complete your initiative. These actions should be high-level enough that they need to be tracked (versus something you can just do by yourself in a few minutes). \n\nMilestones are how you know you've completed the action. Oftentimes it's a tangible work product or when you get approval to move forward to the next step. \n\nThink about how long it will take for your actions to reach your milestones. You should consider how much work is needed to complete each step.  Then consider how many people you have working on this, how much time they have to spend on this, any wait times you will have to factor in, etc. Then assign a reasonable due date that you can hold your team members accountable to. \n"]
