Smetimes it is easy t get caught up with the idea f a prject that sunds fun r impressive, but if we dn t d research t find ut why the prblem exists, we may nt chse a prject that will impact the prblem we want t eliminate. During the planning phase, chapter members will use the infrmatin and data that they came up with during the assessment phase t chse a slutin that will nt nly address the prblem, but als fit with interests and abilities f the chapter members. It is imprtant that chapter members use a timeline t help with their planning prcess During this phase, chapter members will implement the slutin prject that they identified during their planning phase, utilizing their timeline as a guide. During this phase, chapter members will reflect upn the previus 5 phases t determine whether they achieved what they set ut t d.
