Translating Corporate Strategy into Project Strategy: Realizing Corporate Strategy Through Project Management

Mobilize Program: Moving Strategy Within Programs and Projects

Upon approval of the business case, the project is prepared for execution using the mobilize program process outlined in Figure 3.7. This process takes the results of the previous planning processes, particularly the confirmed operational vision and business case—containing the business strategy and project strategy—and incorporates them into the project management plan. This practice is similar to that described in the PMBOK® Guide (Project Management Institute 2000), but differs from the latter in that there does not appear to be a requirement to provide a description of the project management approach or strategy in the form of a summary of the individual management plans.
