During initiation of a strategic transformation, several project teams in different business units are unclear how their individual outputs contribute to the larger outcome. The program manager wants to create a single artifact that articulates the overarching purpose and intended benefit, so all teams stay aligned. Which artifact should the program manager develop first?
Work breakdown structure of the first project
Program mission statement that communicates the shared purpose and expected benefits
Program governance plan detailing review procedures and escalation paths
Integrated master schedule listing major project milestones
A concise program mission statement communicates the program's overall purpose, strategic intent, and expected benefits, enabling every component team to understand how its work contributes to the shared goal. An integrated master schedule, governance plan, or individual WBS provide important detail later, but they do not establish the unifying "north star" that guides all subsequent planning and execution.
