If there are many of them, subsort them by function or service area. Most often specific objectives are listed under each goal and serve as a measurable means to help accomplish the goal. Goals and objectives can include maintaining or enhancing current services or implementing new services. The use of technology may be part of a broader goal. Other goals are more purely technology oriented.
Objectives are the specific implementation processes that are needed to accomplish the goals.
This is the most specific part of the technology plan. Some type of plan evaluation process is necessary to insure that the goals and objectives and other facets of the technology plan are actually implemented. One of the easiest ways to evaluate the technology plan is to tie the evaluation process with the time line or priority list established in the goals and objectives section. For example, an objective may be to replace dumb terminals with PCs in the first six months of a given year. More complex evaluations may require the need to collect and analyze statistics in certain functional areas or conduct focused surveys.
