Planning a program requires much effort, time, participation and working together of stakeholders. Due to this, program planning is essential to running an efficient program. There are many benefits to program planning. The greatest benefits include: the ability to communicate to your stakeholders what it is you want to accomplish, how you intend to accomplish these items, and how you will evaluate your progress. When program planning takes place, a blue print is developed to better comprehend the program’s structure, mechanics, and to chart the course of action in providing improved policies and practice (Kekahio, Lawton, Cicchinelli, & Brandon, 2014). Program planning can save time in the long run due to providing objective needs for the community, rather than subjective (Royse, Thyer, & Padgett, 2016). I believe that most programs omit planning because of the financial expenses involved, the time involved, and the lack of having an expert in the agency to carry out the program planning. Thinking through this a little more, I think ultimately the greatest advantage of program planning is using objective measures to identify a problem in the community.
