			This article mainly talks about the actions element in the aspect of making actions plan in different phases of project. It is obvious that the actions are not fixed for every specific project. The provided actions could be regarded as a template for a manager considering based on these actions but not only on these recommended actions. Project management is a very flexible work, changes happens everywhere and every second in the project. As a project manager, how to changes the plan is a very important ability.

			What's more, actions element is from the project canvas, there are also lots of other elements in the canvas. Actions is related to other elements such as resource, cost and so on. Not only the actions plan would be made, but also the plans of other elements. In order to become a good project manager, all elements are supposed to be under consideration rather than just focus on the actions.

			Actually due to very simple relationship between sponsor and manager in the cleaning house project, the deliverables may not changes too much and progress reports are very unnecessary here.

			Basically, the only action is to start the project and make the planned activities run.

			'''Execution Phase:'''
			After the cleaning starts, if you are not in cleaning and just a manager of this project, then you need to control it to guarantee cleaning is under well going.

			As we all know, the situation of project keeps changing. The sequence may need to be changed if there are some problems. For example, there are 5 people cleaning this house and may be someone finish the work in advance, then you can rearrange the activities to get the work most efficient.
			The most important thing for manager here is to be flexible on the default plan and make the change when something unexpected comes up.

			'''Evaluation Phase:'''
			Normally the closing out action should be after the deliverables are all created and before the hand-off work is all finished.

			But in this example, the hand-off work does not exist. Hence, when all the work is done, manager checks all the room, floors and other things in this house whether they are clean enough and up to the requirement. That's all the closing out action.
