Admit it, business is crazy, its easy to get swept away by a whirlwind of projects. Everyone starts out so excited. Best thing since sliced bread! they claim. It will only cost this much and here are the never-changing requirements! Budgets creep, features grow, the market changes and before you know it, Dammit Jim! youre neck-deep in a project that feels about as relevant to the companys goals as Elmo at a Sweet-16 party.

What is worse than working on a project that no one seems to care about or no one seems to know how it will benefit the company? How do you feel as a CFO watching funds gobbled up by someones pet project when the company is struggling to meet its strategic goals? Sound familiar? Well, your company isnt the only one doing this. Today, were embarking on a mission to boldly align your projects with the companys strategic goals, ensuring your work sets the course for success, not a galactic disaster.

Imagine youre building a spaceship. You wouldnt haphazardly throw on engines, thrusters, and a disco ball all willy-nilly, right? Of course not! Youd have a blueprint, a clear vision of what the ship needs to achieve (and the best area to put the disco ball so maneuvering through an asteroid belt doesnt cause unwarranted injuries). The same goes for projects. Aligning them with the companys strategic goals is your blueprint, ensuring everything contributes to a unified mission. This is key. The more people working on moving the ship in the same direction increases the chances of the ship arriving at its destination.

Who ensures project alignment? It depends on the size and structure of your organization. I would say that responsibility falls on the shoulders of the management team who sets the strategy or the management team tasked with carrying out the strategy. Dont expect it to rest solely on the project managers shoulders. In some organizations, the PMO or another entity might select and approve projects. A best practice: review, prioritize, and select projects based on their strategic alignment. Afterall, a companys corporate strategy unfolds through projects.

So, what are the perks of this interstellar alignment?

• Clarity and Focus :No more swirling around the galactic nebula of confusion.Everyone knows the why behind their work,boostingmorale and efficiency.
• Resource Savvy :No more resource black holes!Aligning projects ensures precioustime, money, and talentgo towards initiatives that truly matter,at the right time.
• Impactful Outcomes :Your projects become laser-focused on achieving the companys goals,leading to tangible results that make a real difference at the right time. Can you say, Mission Accomplished?
• Happy Crew, Happy Mission :When everyone understands the bigger picture and sees their work contributing to it,job satisfaction soars.Think galactic high fives all around!

Heres how to get your projects in sync:

• Define the Strategic Universe: Map out the companys strategic goals: the big wins theyre aiming for. Identify which projects will take you there and which will lead you astray. Guess which ones take priority?
• Communicate Like a Starship Captain: Clearly articulate the corporate strategy so everyone can determine how their projects align with the goals. Use simple language, avoid jargon, and make it relevant to everyone. Keep in mind, while projects not directly supporting the strategy may exist, those aligned should be prioritized.
• Regular Check-Ins: Dont drift off course!Regularly assess if your project is still aligned with the goals.As life continues to life, things in our world are changing faster than ever. It is not unheard of for an organization to have to change course and revisit their goals. Be flexible and adapt when needed.
• Celebrate Victories: Reaching milestones that contribute to the bigger picture deserves recognition!Celebrate successes to keep everyone motivated. (Disco ball deployment optional, but encouraged!)

Aligning projects isnt about rigid control, its about creating a shared vision within your organization and empowering everyone to work together to achieve it. A PMO can be helpful, (or not, I know PMO is a trigger for some.) but theres no pressure. Just select your projects wisely. With open communication, flexibility, and an eye on the future, you can ensure your projects propel the company towards its ultimate destination: success!

Let's discuss how I can help you improve your project outcomes.
