ABSTRACT
Typically, a planner's most important writing task is to organize large amounts of information in a form that readers can easily understand. Doing that well requires forethought. This chapter suggests some ways to plan and structure your document that you will want to consider before you start writing. Thinking about the questions listed here will help you draft an outline of your document. While doing an outline may seem like a holdover from grade school, it is still a step well worth taking before you start writing. This is especially true if you are starting from scratch, with no predetermined format for your document.
