Worksheet for Identifying Your Project Objectives
Use this worksheet to uncover the issues and parameters at the core of your project.
Team:
Section:
Part I. Identify the Business Need Behind the Proposed Project (Why is this project important?)
What is the perceived need or purpose behind what we are trying to accomplish with this project?
What caused people to identify a problem that needed solving through this project?
What criteria are people going to use to judge this project a success?
Part II. Identify Stakeholders Needs (Who benefits? Try to think beyond the obvious.)
Who has a stake in the outcome of the proposed project?
Do the various stakeholders goals for the project differ? If so, how?
Part III. Brainstorm Alternatives
List at least eight possible alternatives that you and other project team members have generated for addressing the business need youve identified. Evaluate the alternatives, and put an asterisk next to the ones that will best help your team reach its goal. Next to those write alternatives, down why you believe they are the best ones. Try to end up with at least four or five ideas. These will form the basis for your project objectives (e.g. tickets of chance, car & dog wash, etc.) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
Part IV. Set Project Objectives
State your projects objectives (four or five). Make sure each objective is SMARTspecific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-limited.
Part V. Align Objectives
Is there a relationship between your projects objectives and your organizations strategic goals? If not, revisit the objectives and consider ways to ensure that they support organizational goals. (e.g. Think twice about drinking events for abused childrens shelter.).
Will your project benefit the organization? If so, how? If not, how can you redefine the objectives so that the project will benefit your organization? (of course, we hope there will be monetary benefit, but also think about raising the profile of your organization, etc.)
