This PPT slide, part of the 18-slide Example of Client Implementation of Best Practice Portfolio PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for evaluating a project's alignment with strategic objectives through a classification system known as "Strategic Fit." This assessment categorizes projects into 4 distinct types: Legislative, Essential, Important, and Desired. Each type serves a specific purpose in relation to the organization's strategic goals.
Legislative projects are mandated by external factors, such as legal and audit requirements, and thus hold a high priority. Both Essential and Important projects are critical for achieving particular strategic objectives, with Essential projects being foundational for delivering on other objectives. Desired projects, while beneficial, are not essential for success and carry the lowest priority.
The slide includes a scoring system that assigns numerical values to each category, with Legislative and Essential projects receiving the highest scores of 10, Important projects scoring 5, and Desired projects scoring 0. Notably, projects that do not fit into any of these categories are labeled as "Not Assessable," indicating a disconnect from strategic priorities. This classification raises the question of whether such projects should proceed, despite their potential merits.
The framework emphasizes the importance of aligning projects with strategic objectives, providing a clear method for prioritization. It also highlights the necessity of assessing projects not just on their individual merits, but on their relevance to overarching goals. This structured approach aids decision-makers in determining resource allocation and strategic focus, ensuring that efforts are directed toward initiatives that drive organizational success.
