Plan Check Do Act

Plan Check Do Act is a variance on the very well known Plan Do Check Act cycle, widely used in continual project management and quality control. It is also widely used in the design of risk management systems.

When it is expected that projects or products can have negative risks and effects for affected communities or consumers, because there is a controversy on the underlying facts, values or both, an early stakeholder engagement in the design phase is seen as international best practice

With increasing influence of external stakeholders on business continuity and reputation, risk management systems have assured the incorporation of their views in an early stage, such as the High Level Structure of ISO and Performance Standards of IFC.

With swopping the do and the check stage, stakeholders can be incorporated at an early stage where design changes of the product or project can still be incorporated at relatively low costs and expensive changes in detailed design later can be prevented and controlled.
