An investigation action plan translates open questions and identified work into specific, trackable actions.
Useful action-plan fields
Consider action ID, related issue, action required, owner, start date, target date, priority, dependency, status and completion outcome.
Use specific actions
Describe what needs to be done rather than using vague reminders. Specific actions are easier to assign and review.
Connect actions to case questions
Reference the lead, issue, source conflict or review item that generated each action so its purpose remains clear.
Preserve completion history
Record completion dates and outcomes instead of deleting finished actions.
For integrated action tracking, see the CaseWorks Investigation & Case Management System.
