The Workplan brings together the design decisions and tasks needed to guide the FAIRification activity. It supports iterative design, implementation, and assessment, helping the team work towards the activity’s objectives.
During the first two phases of the Process, the Workplan is tailored to the specific activity. It is then used throughout the iterative FAIRification cycles, as well as during the post-FAIRification review. It can be updated with a new section for each FAIRification cycle to serve as an oveview of what’s in scope of and what to follow-up on.
The Template can help identify, define, and scope the tasks for the current implementation cycle. The Workplan can then be used to track decisions, monitor progress, and follow up on actions related to the objectives.
