| The most popular ways to describe plans are by their breadth, time frame, and specificity; however, these planning [[classifications]] are not [[independent]] of one another. For instance, there is a close [[relationship]] between the short-and long-term categories and the [[strategic]] and operational categories. | | The most popular ways to describe plans are by their breadth, time frame, and specificity; however, these planning [[classifications]] are not [[independent]] of one another.
