Organizations have different strategies for determining which project to bring value and return on investment. Some organize the projects around problems and issues the various departments are experiencing. Others base the order on which projects bring the most value to the organization or make the most money.
Project selection historically aligns with the strategic plan, which has goals and objectives for the organization, and projects support that plan to drive its initiatives. Organizations must create a process priority for the project when facilitating the project order. Unless everyone understands the project’s priority, it is easy for the project team to work on lesser-priority projects that have less of an impact on the organization’s return on investment and strategic position.
