Short description
In this step, the aim is to setup a workplan for your FAIRification process. This workplan is a specific design an implementation plan customised to your project, composed of template elements required to achieve your intended FAIRification goals [FAIRInAction]. For many steps in the workplan, solutions may already exist, for example in the form of recipes as provided by the FAIR Cookbook [FAIRCookbook].
One approach is to have multiple iterative FAIRification cycles, with each cycle focussing on one FAIRification objective. Each cycle can have its own workplan, guiding the implementation [FAIRInAction].
...
The FAIRification Workplan is a specific design and implementation plan customised to an individual project by selecting the template elements required to achieve the intended FAIRification goals according to the project examination. An example of a FAIRification workplan is shown in Supplementary Figure 1. For many of the steps in the workplan, solutions may already exist, in the shape of FAIR Cookbook 15,16 recipes (https://faircookbook.elixir-europe.org), which serve as a guide. Supplementary Table 2 provides links to the recipes that address specific implementation considerations. Once the workplan has been designed, it is put into action within the agreed cycle time frame.
Why is this step important
By completing this step you will have one or more workplans with the steps required to achieve your FAIRification goals.

Or can other generic project approached be applied? Like “this is the type of project that requires quick adjustments, so you may want to consider scrum.”
Would this need us to map out logical metroline sequences? Maybe you could even provide solution plans in the future, based on e.g. From a Metroline perspective, at some point you could perhaps even provide suggested solution plans, based on the FAIR Objectives. E.g. If you goal is Registering Resource Level metadata, you could consider the following steps: “Register your study in the HRI Catalogue”, relevant steps are x, y, z .
This section should help complete the step. It’s crucial that this is practical, doable and scalable.
Depending on the type of step, this can, for example, be a reference to one or more (doable) recipes, or perhaps some form of checklist? The recipes/best-practices presented should be based on experts from the field.
This should probably be a subpage so as not to have too much text on this page.
References, if relevant, to FAIRCookbook, RDMKit, GOFAIR?
Sub headers if relevant for specific domains?and you could approach these steps (project-wise) in such-and-such-a-way (e.g. iteratively, like suggested FAIRInAction). Complicated, but perhaps useful, but it also means we’d have to have a list of “Generic FAIR Objectives”.
Does DMP-related stuff also fit into this somehow? Let’s say you have a project and its DMP. The DMP could include (a link to) a Solution Plan, which is basically the practical How-will-I-do-this-project. You could say any FAIRification process requires a Solution plan. In some cases, this solution may be “easy”, like when you just want to onboard your data in the HRI Catalogue.
Types of Project Management Methodologies: contains an overview of various major methodologies within the world of project management using the analogy of a kitchen.
The How to section should:
be split into easy to follow steps;
Step 1
Step 2
etc.
help the reader to complete the step;
aspire to be readable for everyone, but, depending on the topic, may require specialised knowledge;
be a general, widely applicable approach;
if possible / applicable, add (links to) the solution necessary for onboarding in the Health-RI National Catalogue;
aim to be practical and simple, while keeping in mind: if I would come to this page looking for a solution to this problem, would this How-to actually help me solve this problem;
contain references to solutions such as those provided by FAIR Cookbook, RMDkit, Turing way and FAIR Sharing;
contain custom recipes/best-practices written by/together with experts from the field if necessary.
Expertise requirements for this step
This section could describe the expertise required. Perhaps the Build Your Team step could then be an aggregation of all the “Expertise requirements for this step” steps that someone needs to fulfil his/her FAIRification goals.
Practical examples from the community
This section should show the step applied in a real project. Links to demonstrator projects.
