In a general way, you covered all necessary steps, but the order for an optimized implementation effort would be a bit different.
After getting support for your project (through approval of the ISMS project plan) and approval of the Procedure for Document and Record Control, you should consider these steps:
1) defining ISMS basic framework (e.g., scope, objectives, organizational structure), by understanding organizational context and requirements of interested parties;
2) development of risk assessment and treatment methodology;
3) perform a risk assessment and define the risk treatment plan;
4) controls implementation (e.g., policies and procedures documentation, acquisitions, etc.);
5) people training and awareness;
6) controls operation;
7) performance monitoring and measurement;
8) perform internal audit;
9) perform management critical review; and
10) address nonconformities, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement.
