    The key takeaways are that planning is a management function concerned with defining goals and deciding on tasks and resources to achieve those goals. Different types of plans discussed are strategic plans, operating plans, and continuous/rolling plans.

    The different types of plans discussed are strategic plans which ask "what are the right things to do" and are long term (3-5 years), operating plans which ask "how does one do things right" and deal with tactics/techniques and are shorter term (1 year), and continuous/rolling plans which involve mapping out day-to-day activities and modifying plans depending on needs.

    Some characteristics of a good plan discussed are that it involves a continuous process of assessment, establishment of goals and objectives, implementation, and evaluation of change as new facts become known.
