Wingate Services has authorized a program to streamline customer onboarding across several product lines. The CEO states that the company must achieve "faster time-to-revenue" and "improved customer retention" within two years. Before decomposing the vision into benefits and component projects, what should the program manager do first to ensure these statements are captured as business objectives?
Draft a customer-success training curriculum to support the new onboarding process.
Collect detailed technical requirements for automating the onboarding workflow.
Confirm with functional managers how many full-time equivalents can be assigned to onboarding projects.
Translate the CEO's statements into specific, measurable business objectives and document them in the program charter and benefits register.
Business objectives are specific, measurable targets derived from the organization's strategy that guide program direction and benefits realization. The program manager should translate the CEO's broad intentions into quantifiable objectives (for example, reduce average onboarding time by 30 % and increase annual retention by 10 %) and record them in baseline program documents such as the charter and benefits register. This creates a clear link between strategic goals and the program's planned outcomes. Gathering staffing availability, drafting training curricula, or collecting detailed technical requirements may be necessary later, but none of these actions establishes the strategic business objectives that will steer the program and measure its success.
