I will have the brochure completed by April 30, 2016. I will collect Standard Operating Procedures documents that would be useful to employees in this office. I will document expectations for email, written correspondence, and copying and printing. I will meet with a focus group of employees in this department to determine what should be in the brochure. I need the SOP documents. I need stakeholder input. I need approval of my supervisor. I would like to learn Microsoft Publisher to create the final document. This brochure is important because it would make new employees better prepared to work within the office. It would also clarify some existing office practices that may be unclear to all staff. I will complete the brochure by April 30, 2016. I will get my evaluators approval by November 1, 2015. I will conduct the department focus group by December 15, 2015. I will collect and review the appropriate SOP documents by January 31, 2016. I will identify expectations for email, written correspondence and copying and printing by February 28, 2016.
