Phase 2: Checkup, triage and plan

Check the relevance and feasibility of the selected management issues and options.

At the end of each mapping and scoping cycle, within the core project team or with the stakeholder forum, various checks should be made to ensure that the project is relevant to the territory and to clearly identify the objectives. This can be organised using a triage process developed by Pendleton et al.

All the steps are underlined by three defining actions

Chekup

A methodology to identify the objectives of the assessment and the potential management actions

Triage

Carrying out steps to decide which assessment to carry out for which purpose and in which context

Plan

After this refined TRIAGE phase, it is essential to communicate the results and identified choices to the stakeholder forum with an explanation of why these choices have been made.

Step 7: Checkup and triage

Based on the material and knowledge gathered in the first steps of the roadmap, the triage process calls for an initial verification of the need for and scope of an environmental assessment. Following this process, the core team decides on the issues that the project will address and its objectives.

Step 8: Select assessment tools and indicators

The final checks in the triage process will be particularly relevant in selecting methods, models, tools and means of evaluating potential environmental management strategies.

Step 9: Communicate with the stakeholder forum test

After this triage phase, it is essential to communicate the results and identified choices to the stakeholder forum with explanation of why these choices have been made.

It is also important to propose to the stakeholder forum a feedback on the first common culture workshop. This feedback is a delicate task, the common culture workshop often provides abundant brainstorming material, and some material might be sensitive and should not be communicated to a wider public.
