Planning
Research Observe & Reflect Doing the project development cycle, only each time you get there you are armed with a better understanding of what is possible and how your project might achieve it. You are continually investigating the ongoing impacts of your project, in what ways it is working, in what ways it can be improved, and you are continuously building on the rich understanding you have developed of the project, its context, its possibilities and its potentials. You are always working, as a member of the project team, to make your project better, to ensure its services are both appropriate and relevant. Basically, you are always asking those 4 key questions set out in the introduction: 1. 2. 3. 4.
What are we trying to do? How are we trying to do it? How well are we doing? How can we do it differently/better?
In other words, you just keep going, but at each stage you are better informed and you are developing your project from a position of growing strength.
