《Fundamentals of Project Management 4th Edition》 读书笔记 第四章 为项目开发使命、远景和目标

CHAPTER 4 Establishing a Missionary Aim, Visionary Scope, Set Clear Objectives, and Define Specific Targets for the Project

为项目开发使命、远景和目标

大部分人在项目的初期阶段误以为自己清楚自己的任务是什么,实际上并非如此

The vocabulary employed to outline the target includes "mission," "vision," "goals," and "objectives." It is during the early stage when projects often encounter difficulties, as we assume we all share a clear understanding of the mission.

我们定义问题的方式决定了如何解决它。

[1]The way a problem is defined determines how you will solve it.

问题是现实与愿景间的差距。

A problem is defined as the difference between your current position and your desired destination, which is prevented by obstacles. An individual goal does not constitute a problem. For a problem to exist, obstacles must be present.

愿景指最终结果看起来是什么样子的，它定义了完成的意义。

[1]Vision is what the final result will “look like.” It defines “done.”

使命就是去达到愿景。

The objective is to aim for the vision. The mission seeks to address two key inquiries: "What will we be striving towards?" and "Who will be targeted in our pursuit?"

人们倾向于跳过定义问题，结果导致项目的失败。

Each project is capable of addressing an issue of some sort, yet individuals often fail to consider the issue's precise definition. This oversight constitutes a significant mistake. The manner in which one defines an issue fundamentally influences the solution strategy, hence establishing an accurate definition from the outset is essential.

项目objectives要比mission更为具体定义了项目目标。

When a mission statement has been established, it becomes possible to outline your project objectives. The objectives are significantly more specific than the mission statement itself, establishing clearly defined outcomes that must be achieved for the overall mission to be successfully completed. Additionally, each objective clearly defines its intended end result.

目标要具体、可测量、可达到、实际且带有时间限制的。

We believe that an objective should be SMART, with each letter representing a condition in question.

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Realistic

Time limited

常见且主要的风险是：进度、预算、质量和用户满意度。

It is helpful to assess risks of failure ofthe following:

[1]The schedule

[1]The budget

[1]Project quality

[1]Customer satisfaction

你不必试着去识别出所有可能的风险，只需识别出最可能的那些。

You are not attempting to identify all potential risks, but only those that are more likely to occur. This advice should be conveyed to team members who are analytical or may generally exhibit a negative disposition.
