A manufacturing organization is launching a program that merges three separate projects: an automated assembly line, a resource scheduling system, and a logistics platform. The sponsor wants assurance that the combined effort will align with new strategic goals focused on streamlined operations and cost reductions. The program manager is preparing a plan to ensure these projects remain integrated and meet the organization's objectives. Which approach helps maintain this alignment throughout execution?
Focus on change control procedures for each project and include cross-project assessments of business priorities
Rely on a baseline set at the start of the program and escalate issues promptly as they arise
Schedule and conduct recurring reviews of project deliverables, discussing cross-project dependencies so that each initiative aligns with evolving strategic goals
Direct project teams to develop separate management plans while including joint checkpoints and reviews
A plan that clearly defines how to synchronize interdependent activities and regularly measures alignment with organization goals is vital for program integration. This includes scheduling repeated reviews of project dependencies, ensuring continuous engagement with key stakeholders, and making adjustments if strategic priorities shift. Some approaches concentrate on project-level details but do not proactively monitor program-level synergies or outcomes. Others emphasize change control but fail to engage stakeholders. The best approach emphasizes ongoing assessment of alignment across each initiative with a mechanism for refining priorities as needed.
