Directors, Senior Advisors and CJTF-7 C-5 were advised by an Action Memo, dated 15 January 2004, of the Strategic Plan reporting process that would drive forward delivery of our have led to a decline in familiarity with the correct reporting process, and consequently, I believe it timely to issue a reminder of the reporting requirements and the process to be followed, Plan will be increasingly important. Weekly Reporting 2. Weekly reporting is required to be done by Objective Holders, or their designated representatives, against the Tasks within the Strategic Plan. Every week each Strategic Plan Objective Holder (e.g. Governance, Strategic Communications) is to update the Strategic Plan database, providing: a status narrative entry against each Supporting Task. The narrative will cover a) whether progress is on schedule and b) any appropriate significant events (significant events may include those that occurred during the reporting period, and/or events that will occur that should be brought to the attention of management). a color code at Supporting Task, Key Task and Objective level. (Unfortunately, since migration to the Oracle database, this function has been available only for Supporting Tasks; however, the system is being modified to allow Objective holders to make the complete selection. Completion of the work is expected by 18 March. In the meantime, please contact Wg Cdr (b)(6) in OPPA to discuss allocation of color codes to Objectives and Key Tasks). UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED The information required is to be collated during the week and input by Objective Holders or their designated representative directly to the Strategic Plan by latest 1800hrs every Thursday. The Strategic Plan inputs will be reviewed by OPPA on Friday. A further Review Meeting will be held Friday at 1430hrs to validate the inputs.' 4. On the basis of the inputs, a Strategic Plan Status Check will be drafted by OPPA and briefed to the Executive Board on Sunday. The Status Check will provide an overall synopsis of significant activity by Core Foundation and also highlight those significant tasks that are Red or Amber. Also, the Executive Board briefing will focus on CPO ministries and COO, respectively, on alternate weeks. Prior to each meeting OPPA and the Executive Board will determine on which Ministry to focus. This will enable the Executive Board to focus upon areas where there are problems with the implementation of the Plan. Monthly Reporting 5. During the last week of each month OPPA will collate changes to the Plan and produce an updated hard copy Strategic Plan for Ambassador Bremer for the forthcoming month. The updated copy will be issued with a covering memo detailing key changes to the Plan in the preceding month and likely areas of risk. Consequently, Objective Holders are to ensure that any agreed updates to the Plan itself as well as updates to status narratives for that week are completed by 1800hrs on the last Thursday of each month at the latest. Conclusion The combination of the existing daily reports to COO and CPO and the process of regular updates to the Strategic Plan will provide a wealth of material from which reports can be extracted at varying levels of granularity. In addition to the overviews for the Executive Board, IMU will be able to produce narrative reports for customers in Washington. CPO, COO and CJTF-7 (C-9) will also have access to the data they need to conduct more detailed analysis of developments in particular areas of concern.
