Abstract

THE PLANNING PROCESS IS SHOWN IN SIX PHASES, SUBDIVIDED INTO A SERIES OF ACTIVITIES WHICH TOGETHER CULMINATE IN A PRODUCT.

THE PRODUCTS RESULTING FROM THESE SIX STEPS ARE A STATEMENT OF BROAD PROJECT GOALS, DATA RESULTS AND CRITERIA FOR ANALYSIS, AN EVALUATION OF FINDINGS AND CLASSIFICATION OF NEEDS, A FORMAL STATEMENT OF POLICY (MASTER PLAN), ORGANIZATIONAL, SERVICE, AND ARCHITECTURE PROGRAMS, AND FUNCTIONING PROGRAMS. A FLOW CHART DEPICTING THE PROCESS, ITS PHASES, ACTIVITIES, AND PRODUCTS IS INCLUDED....ELW
