Developing and Executing Tactical Plans To develop tactical plans, managers work closely with the strategic plans and tactical goals that those tactical plans will support. Managers then identify all the resources, including time and people, needed to implement the tactical plans. To execute tactical plans, managers continually evaluate how well the plan is helping the organization achieve the relevant goal, provide resources to the people carrying out the plan, coordinate activities in different parts of the organization so people don't work at cross$-$ purposes, and monitor the progress of the plan's implementation.
