Create Project Vision

This process examines the project's business case and distills it into a clear Project Vision Statement that inspires the team and directs the work throughout the project. The Product Owner is identified during this step.

Key Points

  • Translate the business case into a concise, motivating Project Vision Statement.
  • Identify and confirm the Product Owner as the steward of the vision and customer value.
  • Clarify the value proposition, target users, desired outcomes, and success criteria at a high level.
  • Use the vision to guide backlog creation, prioritization, and trade-off decisions across the project.

Example

At project kickoff for a new mobile app, the sponsor and team review the business case and craft a one-paragraph vision: "Help customers open an account in under 5 minutes from any device to increase conversions by 20% within 2 quarters." They then appoint Jordan as the Product Owner to champion the vision and lead backlog prioritization.
