Planning Types: How to plan a plan.

A plan is a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something. This is achieved by means of a project. Planing a project is all about managing the resource and priorities in an organized way. Every plan has three steps:

• Devise a plan
• Define success 
• Put it in motion

In general there are 4 types of planing:

1. Operational Planning
• This is all about how things should happen. This is the Plan A. It should describe the day to day running of the project.
2. Strategic Planning
• This is about why things should happen according to Plan A. This is more high level thinking and keeping future in focus. 
3. Tactical Planning
• Tactical planning supports strategic planning as it defines what is going to happen. Tactical planning is different from operational planning in that tactical plans ask specific questions about what needs to happen to accomplish a strategic goal; operational plans ask how the organization will generally do something to accomplish the company’s mission.
4. Contingency Planning
• This is a fallback plan or plan B. The plan for the unexpected.
