In order for a program or project to be successful, it is crucial to establish achievable project goals. Initially, the client-owner sets conceptual goals, and the team is tasked with identifying, reviewing, and recommending incremental goals based on which stakeholders take action. The contract can only represent goals that are definable and achievable.
Understanding the Significance of Project Goals: The Broader Perspective in Achieving Successful End Products
A project goal is a concept that represents an achievable end product. It is broader and less specific than objectives. It is important to note that a project may have multiple goals and objectives.
The Crucial Role of the Client-Owner: Setting Project Goals for Effective Implementation and Progress Measurement
The client-owner holds the responsibility of identifying project goals, which are then used to identify elements of the plan and measure progress throughout the project implementation. The nature of the program or project determines whether the goals are conceptual or non-conceptual.
Furthermore, it is the client-owner’s responsibility to develop contracts that reflect definable and achievable goals. This ensures that all parties involved have a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished.
