management personnel who are involved, understands that as tasks are finished,
the results will dictate what happens next. This is what General Patton was
referring to in his now-famous quote.
There are many ways to monitor the progress of the action plan, from Gantt
charts and project plans (like those presented in Learning to See) to software
applications specifically designed for project management. Regardless of the tools
used to monitor and manage the work, remember that the most important part
of implementation is reviewing the priority of remaining tasks once an action
item has been completed.
