The project strategic plan is the overall route and method determined for the achievement of the goals after the goals and missions of the organization and the project are determined. That is, a strategic plan is actually an overall line.
The project achieves the organization's goals and the project's goals, which are determined by the project's stakeholders. The stakeholders of the project include the client of the project, the client of the project, the team of the project, and the members of the project. Their motivations for the project and their views on the project all affect the achievement of the project goals. Therefore, before developing a project, it is necessary to have a basic understanding and analysis of the situation of stakeholders, including the understanding of historical information, some predictions for the future, and analysis of organizational and environmental factors.
Project management work emphasizes that there must be a set of rules and regulations, and the project must formulate a plan, and take this plan as a norm or procedure. Before making a project plan, you must first have a strategic plan for the project.
Project management process - Lewis 16-step management model
The 16-step management model is proposed by Lewis, a famous project management expert in the United States. From the 16-step management model, you can see where the strategic plan of the project lies.
Concept established. It is to have a framed design and a thought for what to do.
Definition of the problem. That is, a description of long-term goals. The second step is a further refinement and concretization of the first step.
Generate project alternatives and strategic plans. It is to provide ideas, alternatives, and the overall idea of a strategic plan.
Strategic plan evaluation and selection. That is, while choosing the scheme, there is an evaluation and selection from the overall technical route to the overall project management strategy.
establishment of strategy. It is to determine specific strategies and goals.
Develop a project implementation plan. This is a more specific, second-level project plan, which is how to implement it.
Project stakeholders approve the plan. The plans here include strategic plans, preliminary plans, detailed plans, and there is an approval process before these projects are implemented.
Sign the project plan. The approver of the project and the relevant stakeholders involved in the project should sign the project plan, make a commitment to the plan, and establish a tracking record of the project at the same time, make a project progress log or weekly, monthly, and record, and conduct knowledge management based on these records. .
Execute the project plan. Executing a project is the official launch of the plan, progressing the project.
Monitor project progress. After the implementation of the plan, it is necessary to consider how the plan is implemented and whether there are any problems, and to monitor, monitor and control the progress.
Review project definitions. After the project is implemented, it is necessary to do some reviews. The review includes the review of the original work and the review of the definition of the project goal. If there is any problem, go back to step 2 and revise the definition of the project.
Review the project's strategy. The first is to evaluate the definition of goals or projects, and then review whether there are problems with the strategic plan and strategy formulation. If there are problems, go back to Step 4 and revise your project strategy.
Project implementation plan. The specific plan work process, some details need to be reviewed, and there are problems to be revised.
cycle. According to the whole process, from the implementation of the plan to the monitoring and review, if there is a problem, the plan should be revised, then executed, and then reviewed. This process continues until the end of all the work.
Summarize lessons learned. After the project is completed, the experience and lessons will be summed up in a timely manner, and some problems will be archived as a guide and reference for future projects.
End the project. This is a complete project management process. From this process, we can see that the entire project strategic plan is actually before the detailed plan and implementation plan of the project. When planning a project, there must be an overall strategic plan first, and then specific project plans will be carried out under the guidance of the overall strategic plan.
