  3. A common rule of thumb is that plans should be evaluated every five years (and revised, if necessary), and thoroughly updated every decade. Using an outer limit of 10 years also makes sense because this is the length of the planning period as defined in statute, and most plans use that time frame in making projections and identifying issues. Beyond a decade, plans become particularly outdated, as projections, identified issues and proposed strategies become less accurate or relevant. NEED (30-A MRS §4324)
