Having a plan keeps training on tract with goals and plans. That is why if you take a class at PetSmart, PetCo or even a private trainer, there will likely be a path of learning that is followed.

As someone who prefers to work with clients one to one, I make a plan for each dog and family individual to based on their needs.
A family with active children who want to participate may be given games that reflect that while an elderly couple may be given more games that can be played from the couch with the end goal being the same.

Staying on plan, doing the homework that has been given and continuing to do the homework when the class is over is just as important as attending the classes you're paying for.
To help me keep my own dogs training on tract, I keep a training log. This is especially important if your dog is in public frequently.
How often you log training depends on how often you are training and what you are training. I don't log walks, in general, unless there is a reason, such as working on obedience during the walk, something I do often.
It takes baby steps to reach big milestones, like passing a public access test, this is where the training plan can be especially useful.
