Notes de l'éditeur
- Be very clear about the issue or problem you want to address Consider what the background is: How have things got to where they are now? Why are you interested in this issue? What do stakeholders say? Is this something you can change?
- Don’t be vague. What is the purpose of your project? Identify clear outcomes that can be achieved, measured and reported against.
- SMART acronym is one way of helping you to identify your objectives and how you are going to meet them.
- What do you need to put in place to make the project successful? Who are you going to have on your side? Are there champions who can help and support you? What are the potential barriers and how are you going to overcome them? How are you going to achieve buy-in from those involved?
- All this amounts to working with people so that they feel part ownership of the project/change Involve people at all stages of the project Do you need a steering group or team to help you plan and implement the project? Consider how you will influence all around you, including those who have power to make or break the project How will you sell the project? Keep people informed at all times about the progress of the project Be transparent Monitor the progress of the project at all times and step in if/when difficulties with people arise Provide education if required Make sure people are supported to achieve their tasks/outcomes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfjcMfAP9Fs
- What are the risks to the project/ Common risks are: Lack of stakeholder engagement Project overruns its time frame Project runs out of money
- May need to maintain a risk register which is a document where you identify risks and the strategies that you are going to use to overcome the risks. Risks need ongoing monitoring so that you manage them successfully and they do not blow up so big that the project cannot be completed.
- Break down the project into elements and work out what is needed to be done in each element. This will help you work out what your time line will be. Don’t be too optimistic about time lines – project often take longer than you think they will. Tools like a gannt chart can be useful for helping you work out how much time you will need.
- What resources will you need? Will you need financial help? If so, what is your budget? How are you going to raise funds? How will you monitor payments, both to you and from you? Don’t forget that people and time are resources too.
- Very important! Decide your evaluation strategy when you plan your project
- The reason it is important to make the project objectives/outcomes measureable , is because it then becomes easier to data on which to build your evaluation. Evaluation can use both qualitative and quantitative data, and is probably best to use a mix of both.
