Which term describes plans that are no longer needed once the objectives are accomplished?

• A. Single Use
• B. Repeat-use
• C. Tactical
• D. Strategic

Answer: (A)

The main idea is a plan created for a specific, one-time objective and then discarded once that objective is reached. This is the essence of a single-use plan: it’s designed for a particular situation or event and isn’t intended to be reused for future runs. In practice, once the goal is accomplished, the plan isn’t kept for ongoing use.

In contrast, repeat-use plans are meant to guide ongoing activities and are reused or adapted for similar situations. Tactical and strategic describe levels of planning rather than one-off versus ongoing use: strategic plans set long-term goals and directions, while tactical plans outline the specific methods to achieve those goals. Both are typically kept for future applications, not discarded after a single objective.

So the plan type that fits “no longer needed once the objectives are accomplished” is single-use.
