VISTA Planning for Performance Milestones

In the VISTA project plan, each action plan identifies the community need, goal and performance milestone(s), and includes information on how to measure milestones. Your action plan should contain clear criteria for assessing the success of your project, including indicators, targets, and instruments. The links below can help you develop or modify your VISTA project plan.

For further assistance with planning for performance milestones, contact Project STAR, 800-548-3656 or e-mail.
