With assessment results in hand, community supervision agencies can develop plans to strengthen what is already working well while addressing opportunities for improvement, alignment, and development. Supervision officers should revisit, update and revise plans regularly, focusing on failing forward (i.e., learning from failure) and using improvement cycles (e.g., Plan Do Study Act) to encourage experimentation and learning throughout organizations.

Supervision officers should develop case plans with persons on supervision to address individual criminogenic needs and strengths. This process requires officers to be competent in developing case conceptualizations and case planning.
