Q&A: Project Planning

We’ve found that focusing on 5 key areas in planning can help mission-driven organizations deliver more collaborative and impactful projects:

  1. Scope: Scope establishes a project's purpose and helps create a shared vision of success among stakeholders and project team members.

  2. Stakeholders: Identifying all project stakeholders and their roles supports inclusion and allows for more effective planning.

  3. Outcomes: Concrete or tangible deliverables drive project action and quality, helping us define and measure project success.

  4. Schedule: When broadly shared, project deadlines and milestones help us set expectations, monitor progress, and celebrate successes.

  5. Communications: Project communication should be intentional, well-planned, and encourage collaboration among stakeholders and project team members.
