Repeat Use
Repeating the cycle creates a new iteration rather than overwriting prior Goal, Plan, Do, Check, and adjustment content.
Global Strategy: Goal-Plan-Do-Check
Global Strategy: Goal-Plan-Do-Check is a shared practitioner-client tool for occupational therapy practitioners supporting meaningful performance goals. It helps the client and practitioner connect a specific goal task to a plan, an observable attempt, a check of what happened, and a next adjustment.
Try a fictional Goal-Plan-Do-Check cycle and review how a new iteration preserves the prior one.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Practitioner and Client Roles
The practitioner facilitates and controls the record. The client contributes the plan, participates in the attempt, reflects on what happened, and identifies the next adjustment.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not add scoring, predefined strategy categories, clinical interpretation, or substantive coaching content beyond the named cycle stages.
Does the cycle have to be completed in one sitting?
No. If interrupted, the cycle resumes at the last incomplete stage.
Can prior cycles be edited away by repeating the process?
No. Repeating the cycle creates a new iteration so prior goal, plan, attempt, check, and adjustment content remains available.
Does the tool judge whether a plan worked?
No. It records the client's check of what happened and the next adjustment; it does not score or interpret plan quality.
