A Development or Business plan helps you think through all aspects of your
organisation and plan for the future. It helps you get an overview of your
organisation, and is a useful tool for presenting yourself to funders and
supporters. A Development or Business plan may be for the whole of your
organisation or for a particular project (when it is sometimes known as a
Project Plan). It is important that more than one person is involved in writing
the plan so as to ensure that it is a collective vision of the organisation.
A plan can help motivate and make clear how staff and work fits in with an
organisation's aims. It is also essential for funding applications.
