The “Situation” section outlines the current status or problem that necessitates the project.
The “Background” provides context, detailing relevant history, past efforts, or data that support the need for the initiative.
The “Assessment” segment evaluates the situation, analyzing potential impacts, benefits, and challenges associated with the project.
The “Recommendation” proposes a specific course of action, offering clear and actionable steps for consideration. This format ensures a logical flow of information, aiding decision-makers in quickly understanding and evaluating the proposal.
When to use it?
The SBAR format can be used to present new project ideas to governance or to provide a quick overview to others.
