The Project Planning Form is a useful tool for planning an entire improvement project, including a listing of all of the changes that the team is testing, all of the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles for each change, the person responsible for each test of change, and the timeframe for each test. The form allows a team to see at a glance the overall picture of the project.
Background
Used in the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Breakthrough Series, the Project Planning Form has been used by hundreds of health care organizations.
Directions
Use the Project Planning Form to help your team plan and keep track of an entire improvement project. At the start of the project, state the aim and the goal of the project. List the changes you are testing, and the PDSA cycles for each change. Assign an individual responsibility for each change. Estimate the time frame for each cycle. As the project continues, update the Project Planning Form.
