The NIMS management characteristic that includes developing and issuing assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols to accomplish tasks is "Management by Objectives".
This characteristic involves:
- Establishing specific, measurable incident objectives,
- Identifying strategies, tactics, tasks, and activities to achieve the objectives,
- Developing and issuing assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols to accomplish identified tasks,
- Documenting results to measure performance.
Management by Objectives ensures that everyone involved understands the objectives and the means to accomplish them effectively within the incident management structure.
