Lesson Learned

For infrastructure activities, a master plan should be developed – The implementation of the RSRC activity was largely characterized by an emergent rather than established implementation plan.

For infrastructure activities, a master plan should be developed – The implementation of the RSRC activity was largely characterized by an emergent rather than established implementation plan. There was no single overarching plan covering all tasks, but different elements of the RSRC activity were determined over time during the planning and implementation process and were documented in different reports. A master plan with a clearly defined list of targeted goals is instrumental in identifying the tasks to be completed, setting a timeline, and determining that the same vision is shared by all key stakeholders. If an emergent plan is unavoidable, a master plan can and still ought to be developed by assessing progress as early into implementation as possible and consolidating the decisions that have been made. A project without a master plan is both difficult for MCC and MCA-N to manage and difficult to evaluate its implementation performance.
