Action Plans require Chatter!!
Action Plans looked to be a really nice improvement to Salesforce. Would have been a great fit for us. Unfortunately, it requires chatter. Chatter is just not a fit for us. We run a territory-based business model & therefore we have no sharing between leads, contacts, etc. Chatter therefore adds no value. I turned it off because Salesforce is so busy to begin with that we turn down anything we are not using. I went to install Action Plans & realized it requires Chatter. Really disappointing that force.com is building things with the Chatter dependency - especially for features with very little Chatter relevance.
Thanks for the note. The good news is that Action Plans V3 is unmanaged and completely open source. You can go into the code an easily remove the Chatter connection. This is one of the key reasons it's available as an unmanaged app -- so customers who want it to be a little different can make it work for them without a lot of work.

Thanks for the reply - I'll take a look at this option
