Once you’ve created your plan and it’s been approved, you need to take action as quickly as possible. Ideally, you will implement your plan as it has been written, completing each activity and achieving each milestone on schedule. What typically happens, however, is that roadblocks appear along the way, changing timelines and the sequence of events. You will need to marshal your resources to address these challenges, while man- aging stakeholders to ensure they remain supportive of the project and your leadership. You’ll need to ensure your team has the resources it needs, inform and coach stakeholders, and resolve issues.
