SETTING UP PROJECT GOALS

SETTING UP PROJECT GOALS

PROJECT GOAL :

THE ULMITATE GOAL OF PROJECT IS TO COMPLETE WITH GOOD QUALITY AND SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME AS PER PLAN. WE CAN TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF ANY INDUSTRY LIKE BANKING, IT, NAVY, AUDITING AS EVERYONE WORK ON TARGETS AND GOALS IN A DIFFERENT APPROACH BUT ULIMATELY FOCUSED REACHING THE GOAL SET AS PER PLANNED BEFORE APPROACHING. THE BEST WAY TO SET PROJECT GOALS BY FOLLOWING FIVE STEPS :

• STEP 1: IDENTIFY YOUR GOALS
• STEP 2 : DEFINE SMART GOALS
• STEP 3: CREATE AND ACTION PLAN
• STEP 4 : SET PLAN INTO AN ACTION
• STEP 5 : MONITOR PROJECT EXECUTION

IDENTIFY YOUR GOALS :

THE FIRST STEP OF PROJECT IS TO IDENTIFY THE GOALS FOR PROJECT BY ORGANISING A MEETING TO DISCUSS ABOUT PROJECT AND GOALS WITH TEAM BEFORE INITIATION OF PROJECT. THE TEAM INCLUDES PROJECT MANAGER, BUSINESS ANALYSTS, DEVELOPERS, TESTERS, SME AND STAKEHOLDERS, CLIENT. THE TEAM CREATES A PLAN OR DISCUSS WITH MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICAL EXPERT REGARDING WORKOUT OF PROJECT. IF ANY DISAGREEMENT OR ALTERNATIVE APPROACH CAN BE ADDED ON PROJECT WITH PRIOR DISCUSS WITH TEAM.

DEFINE SMART GOALS:

SMART INDICATES SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE , REALISTIC, TIME BOUND. WE HAVE DIFFERENT METHODS TO APPROACH BUT WITH THIS ITS CORRECT WAY IDENTIFY THE REQUIREMENTS WITH THIS ASPECT.

SPECIFIC : PROJECT GOAL SHOULD BE SPECFIC

MEASURABLE : DATA OR PROPER RESEARCH TO MAKE A PATH TO REACH GOAL

ACHIEVABLE : LOOK UP ON POSSIBILITIES TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECT WITH AVAILIBILTY RESOURCES OR MID OF PROJECT.

REALISTIC : GOALS SHOULD BE REALISTIC AND FIGURES OR GRAPHS

TIME BOUND : SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD TO REACH THE TARGET \

WE NEED TO WORK UPON FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES TO MAKE A BLUEPRINT OF PROJECT WITH THIS ASPECTS TO REACH THE GOAL.

CREATE AND ACTION PLAN :

WE NEED TO SET THE PLAN INTO ACTION BY TAKING PROPER DISCUSSION WITH CLIENTS AND TEAM MEMBERS ABOUT IT. NOW ITS TIME TO SET THE PLAN INTO ACTION AS WE HAVE DONE PROJECT WITH PROCESS FLOW AND WEBSITE DESIGN WITH HELP OF AXURE AND VISIO , LOTS OF WORKOUT NEED TO DONE FOR EVERY PHASE IN DETAILED MANNER WITH CONSULT OF EVERY FIELD EXPERTS TO KNOW THE BOUNDARIES TO WORK ON.

WHEN CREATING AN ACTION PLAN , WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT,

• TEAM MEMBERS OF THE PROJECT AND STAKEHOLDERS FOR INFORMATION
• TEAM MEMBERS WORKOUT PLAN MADE BASED ON THEIR SPECIALISATION
• CREATING A PLAN TO COMPLETE SMALLER TASKS TO REACH THE ASPECT OF GOAL FOR PROJECT.
• DEADLINE OR TIME BOUND FOR PROJECT PRIMARILY CONSIDERED

SET PLAN INTO ACTION :

WHATEVER WE PLANNED FOR PROJECT IS TAKEN INTO ACTION WITH HELP OF WORKOUT DONE IN BALSAMIQ AND AXURE SOFTWARE

• ASSIGNING TASKS TO INDIVIDUAL TEAM MEMBERS
• SETTING DEADLINES FOR EACH TASK
• PROVIDING RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS EXECUTED IN TIME

MONITOR PROJECT EXECUTION :

The last step in the goal-setting process is monitoring project execution. Imagine you have set your S.M.A.R.T goal, created an action plan, and assigned tasks to the relevant team members – is that all? No! It is crucial for project managers to monitor project execution and make sure everything is on track.

This not only ensures that quality standards are met, but it also makes sure all the deadlines are met hassle-free, without any confusion.

Both project execution and client relationships go hand-in-hand because when you execute planned project activities in an appropriate manner, odds of securing desired deliverables improve significantly. It lets you keep clients’ trust and loyalty for ages, which, in turn, gives your business invaluable stability.
