Planning documents are the predictions and assumptions about the work objectives, tasks, measures and implementation steps in a certain period in the future, and these assumptions are written into systematic and organized written materials. Although such documents are not listed as official documents of the state, they are often used by party and government organs, social organizations, enterprises and institutions, and have a high frequency of use.

Types and functions of planning documents

Type of planning document:

Planning documents include plans, schemes, schemes, outlines, key points, schemes, assumptions, forecasts and opinions. The contents of these languages are all about the future, that is, things that have not happened or will happen. But there are differences in scope, time, thickness and distance.

Generally speaking, the planning and outline have a long time span and a wide range, and are comprehensive and long-term; The time span of planning and forecasting is small, which refers to special work, after careful consideration; The planning time is long or short, and the content can be comprehensive or single, such as five-year plan, annual plan, quarterly and monthly plan, which includes national economic development plan, industrial production plan, education work plan and so on. Conceiving and planning are preliminary or informal things, which take a long time to conceive and a short time to plan, and they are not well thought out and have thick ideas. Therefore, the author can decide which language to choose according to various requirements such as content, time and importance.

The role of planning tools:

Planning documents play a very important role in the work. First, the goal and direction of struggle can be clearly defined; Second, it can guide and standardize people's behavior; Third, it can stimulate people's enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Basic characteristics of planning documents

To write planning documents, we must understand their basic characteristics:

Forward. Do any work with a sense of advance, especially writing planning documents. Because, planning, planning must be done well in advance, so planning, planning must have a sense of advance, so that planning, planning in an invincible position.

Innovation. Whether it is a long-term plan or a short-term plan, its content should be innovative. If the annual plan is a cliche, then this plan can be omitted. For a region, there should be new ideas and measures in development planning and planning. For an enterprise, there must be new products, new technologies and new business strategies in the development plan and plan. Therefore, writing planning documents must be innovative.

Guide. A plan, scheme, scheme, etc. It is authoritative after being approved by the superior. It is not only the direction of action, but also the basis of guiding work. Therefore, before writing the planning document, we must carefully investigate and study, and be careful to put pen to paper to prevent mistakes.

Objectivity. Although the planning document is people's subjective will to imagine the future, this kind of vision is not fantasy or cranky, but a well-founded and possible vision, which is in line with the development law of objective things. Generally speaking, before writing a plan, we should make an in-depth investigation, fully grasp the information and understand various factors. On this basis, comprehensive analysis and research, put forward practical tasks, indicators and measures. Therefore, the planning document is the unity of subjectivity and objectivity, not a purely subjective product.

General writing methods of planning documents

The structure of the planning document can be roughly divided into:

Title: The title of the planning document is straightforward, that is, what is the planning and what is it called. Generally speaking, there is no difference between a positive title and a negative title.

Text: In general, the planning document is divided into four parts:

The first part is the introduction. This paper introduces the background of writing this plan, explains its basis, and explains its purpose and significance.

The second part, the task. This part is the core of the planning document and the goal and direction of the struggle. If the tasks and objectives are not mentioned in the planning document, there is no need to make plans and programs. The task includes two aspects: first, the overall task and goal, which expounds the overall task and goal of this unit in the planning period; The second is the specific tasks, such as the tasks and objectives of agriculture, industry, transportation, finance, finance, science and technology, education, culture, health and other industries, as well as the degree of development. The general task should be summarized, and the specific task should be written separately.

The above is a big and comprehensive plan. As for a short-term plan and a work plan, there is no need to write them separately. General tasks and specific tasks can be written together, separately or separately. Because this scheme is relatively simple, the content will not be too complicated.

The third part, factor analysis. This part is to evaluate the possibility of completing the task and explain what are the advantages and disadvantages or difficulties of completing the task, so as to make full use of the advantages and face up to the disadvantages and difficulties. This part can be sorted into several articles, namely, several favorable conditions and several unfavorable conditions, and those unstable variables should be estimated.

The fourth part, measures and steps. This part is the focus of the planning tool and the extension of the task part. No task, no measures; Without measures, the task is a castle in the air. So the two most important parts of writing planning documents are tasks and measures. These are two interdependent and indispensable parts. Measures can be written in several ways, such as 1234 ordinal numbers or subheadings. The measures should be separated, with the important ones coming first and the secondary ones coming last, as detailed and true as possible to facilitate the implementation of unit operations. As for less important measures, they can be summarized, ignored or omitted.

The four parts of the planning document are organically linked and interlocking. No matter how to adjust the structure, we must answer these three questions, that is, what is the basis for writing the planning document, what is its task requirement and how to complete this task. Only by mastering these principles can we master them freely and write a good planning document.

Three points should be paid attention to when writing planning documents

The basic materials should be accurate. Various basic materials for writing planning documents, including data, information, resources, historical materials, etc., must be accurate and true, and there can be no falsehood. If it is based on false materials, it will make planning and planning difficult to achieve, and it will also cause major mistakes.

There is room for mission objectives. The tasks, objectives and requirements of the measures proposed in the planning document must be realistic, and they should not be divorced from reality, aim too high, or be conservative and stagnant. Therefore, there should be room for improvement in tasks, objectives and measures. In other words, on the basis of fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the masses, through hard work, the plan can be achieved or exceeded.

Use simple language. Planning documents don't need vivid language like summaries and research reports, but generally use simple and solemn language. Because the contents of the planning documents are tasks that people are required to do in the future, only when they are understood can they be well implemented. Therefore, the language should be unpretentious, not specious and ambiguous, especially the task objectives must not be vague, and must be clear and accurate. This is the requirement of the planning document for the language.
