C. TYPES OF PLANS
Types of plans can be described by range or
breadth, time frame, specificity and
frequency of use.
We define long-term plans as those with a time
frame beyond three years.
Short-term plans cover one year or less.
Any time period in between would be an
intermediate plan.
Specific plans are clearly defined and leave no
room for interpretation.
Directional plans are flexible plans that set out
general guidelines.
A single-use plan is a one-time plan specifically
designed to meet the needs of a unique
situation.
Standing plans are ongoing plans that provide
guidance for activities performed repeatedly.
Standing plans include policies, rules, and
procedures
