A (simplified) practical application of APT

APT Process 3 — preparing to `Deliver it'

About this time, Gordon will have shown Jill and John the special APT system for setting intelligent priorities. For the simplicity of this explanation we will defer the how-to-do-it details until a later module.

Let's assume that sub-plan 1.1 `Interior Refurbishment Plan' was selected as one of the high priority action items.

This means that a `reality' based set of action steps needs to be prepared.

Introducing the APT Action Plan system
To create simple yet effective action plans, Gordon explains the procedure used to detail APT plans.

This is called the `PSP' system.

He told them that PSP is an acronym for `Purpose', `Strategy' and `Person'.

He then went on to say, "for each of the sub-plans that you have given a high action priority, we need detailed action plans. To achieve this we will use the PSP detailing method".
