Plan modeling can be considered as an analysis technique complementary to goal modeling. It rests on reasoning techniques analogous to those used in goal modeling, namely, means-end, contribution analysis and AND/OR decomposition. In particular, AND/OR decomposition provides an AND and OR decompositions of a root plan into sub-plans.
A graphical representation of goal and plan modeling is given through Goal Diagrams.
