Which plan outlines the steps, assigns responsibilities, and considers the skills needed to achieve the team's goals?

• A. Action Plan
• B. Roadmap
• C. Gantt Plan
• D. Implementation Plan

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is turning goals into concrete, coordinated actions. An action planDetails the specific steps needed to reach the goals, assigns who is responsible for each step, and identifies the skills or resources required to complete them. This combination—clear tasks, accountable owners, and the competencies needed—makes it the clearest-fit option for ensuring progress and achieving the team’s goals.

A roadmap is broader and strategic, outlining major milestones and direction rather than day-to-day tasks and ownership. A Gantt plan emphasizes scheduling and timelines, focusing on when tasks happen rather than who handles them or what skills are needed. An implementation plan often centers on executing a chosen approach, but the term that most directly matches outlining steps with assigned responsibilities and required skills is the action plan.
