Establishing a Planning Timeline
Setting a Target Exercise Date:
Determining the target exercise date is a critical milestone in the planning process. Careful consideration of factors such as operational readiness, participant availability, and potential conflicting events or seasons ensures the exercise takes place at an optimal time. By choosing the right date, stakeholders can fully commit to the planning process, ensuring maximum engagement and participation.
Create a Planning Timeline:
Developing a comprehensive planning timeline is essential to keep the process on track. This timeline should include key milestones such as planning meetings, document reviews, and exercise revisions. By establishing a structured timeline, planners ensure that all necessary tasks are completed within the specified timeframe, minimizing the risk of delays, or rushed preparations.
