OOPS

How to implement

Objective
Clearly define the specific objective you want to achieve.

Obstacles
Identify potential challenges, roadblocks, or risks that might prevent you from reaching your objective.

Plan
Outline the specific steps, actions, and resources you will need to take to overcome the obstacles and achieve your objective.

Schedule
Define the timeline for your plan, including key milestones, deadlines, and the overall duration of the effort.

Example

Let’s outline a plan for an upcoming website redesign using OOPS.

”Our Objective is to launch the redesigned website by the end of Q3.

We anticipate some Obstacles, primarily around aligning on the final design with all stakeholders and the potential for technical integration challenges with our existing systems.

Our Plan involves three key phases: design mockups and approvals, content migration and development, and finally, testing and deployment.

The Schedule has the design phase completing by the end of next month, content by mid-Q3, and testing and launch in the final weeks of Q3.”
