Implementation Strategies
The development of an implementation strategy for a project is not simply a process listing a
sequence of events against a timeframe acceptable to a client agency or administration.
Objectives
At the start of an implementation project a strategy document must be drafted. This should clearly
state the objectives and policy framework within which the project is to be delivered, specifically -
· How the objectives will be achieved;
· The criteria against which project deliverables will be measured;
· What is to be delivered and when;
· The risks to the project and how these risks can be managed;
· The perceived management requirements.
· Leadership
