How to Set a Clear Vision and Mission for your Team

A clear vision and mission for your project is a basis for both:
- clarity of purpose, and
- team motivation

Mission and vision address the importance of answering the question 'Why?'
They provide your project team with a connection to what matters.

The 5-Step Process for creating a clear vision and mission for your team:
1. Involve the team
o Convene meeting
o Use facilitator
o Preparation
2. Start Point
o Describe what the team aspires to achieve:
- ‘what do you want? (Mission)
- ‘Where are you going’ (Vision)
- Who for - ‘whom do you serve?’
- What benefit (the ‘why’)
3. Needs to inspire the majority
o Not a least common denominator that offends no one
4. Gain commitment
o To ideas – not a final version
o Document sentiments as key phrases and pictures
5. Embed your Mission and Vision
o Publicize it
o Repeat it
o Use it

A ‘good’ Mission and Vision
• Bold and ambitious – but grounded in reality
• Short and precise
• Simple language – 7 year-old test

A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list.
