Change Projects
Events that Join Strategy and
Projects

Project Start-Up
• Most strategic moment of a project is right
when it is authorized
• Strategy helps answer, “Why should we do
this?” or “What is the goal?”
• PM helps you climb the ladder, strategy
helps make sure it is on the right wall
Project Closure
• A time to gather new ideas
• Teams see unsolved problems and issues
• At MSIG these ideas become new project
proposals
• Ensure that good ideas are not lost
• A gift to the strategic planner
