‭ o,‬ ‭here’s‬ ‭a‬ ‭simple‬ ‭example‬ ‭I‬ ‭can‬ ‭give‬ ‭in‬ ‭developing‬ ‭a‬ ‭Mission,‬ ‭Vision,‬ ‭Goals,‬ ‭and‬

S
‭Objectives for Project‬

‭ . Identify the problem.‬

1
‭Before‬ ‭starting‬ ‭any‬ ‭project,‬ ‭it's‬ ‭important‬ ‭to‬ ‭understand‬ ‭the‬ ‭problem‬ ‭or‬ ‭challenge‬ ‭that‬
‭needs‬ ‭to‬ ‭be‬ ‭addressed.‬ ‭This‬ ‭involves‬ ‭clearly‬ ‭defining‬‭the‬‭issue‬‭or‬‭opportunity‬‭that‬‭the‬
‭project aims to solve or capitalize on.‬

‭ he‬‭problem‬‭in‬‭this‬‭scenario‬‭is‬‭the‬‭inefficiency‬‭and‬‭inconvenience‬‭of‬‭the‬‭current‬‭tuition‬
T
‭payment‬ ‭system‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭university.‬ ‭Students‬ ‭may‬ ‭face‬ ‭long‬ ‭queues,‬ ‭outdated‬ ‭payment‬
‭methods,‬‭or‬‭difficulties‬‭in‬‭accessing‬‭payment‬‭portals,‬‭leading‬‭to‬‭frustration‬‭and‬‭delays‬‭in‬
‭fee payments.‬

‭ . Make a vision.‬
2
‭The‬ ‭vision‬ ‭is‬ ‭like‬ ‭a‬ ‭mental‬ ‭picture‬ ‭of‬ ‭what‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬ ‭aims‬ ‭to‬ ‭achieve.‬ ‭It‬ ‭outlines‬ ‭the‬
‭desired‬‭outcome‬‭and‬‭sets‬‭the‬‭direction‬‭for‬‭the‬‭project.‬‭The‬‭vision‬‭should‬‭include‬‭a‬‭list‬‭of‬
‭essential‬ ‭elements‬ ‭that‬ ‭must‬ ‭be‬ ‭achieved,‬ ‭along‬ ‭with‬ ‭some‬ ‭additional‬ ‭features‬ ‭that‬
‭would be beneficial if possible.‬

‭ he‬ ‭vision‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬ ‭is‬ ‭to‬ ‭create‬ ‭a‬ ‭streamlined‬ ‭(more‬ ‭efficient)‬ ‭and‬ ‭user-friendly‬
T
‭tuition‬‭payment‬‭system‬‭that‬‭allows‬‭students‬‭to‬‭quickly‬‭and‬‭conveniently‬‭pay‬‭their‬‭tuition‬
‭fees‬ ‭using‬ ‭various‬ ‭payment‬ ‭methods.‬ ‭This‬ ‭includes‬ ‭online‬ ‭payment‬ ‭portals,‬ ‭mobile‬
‭apps,‬ ‭and‬ ‭automated‬ ‭payment‬ ‭kiosks‬ ‭across‬ ‭campus.‬ ‭The‬ ‭vision‬ ‭also‬ ‭includes‬
‭enhancing‬ ‭the‬ ‭overall‬ ‭student‬ ‭experience‬ ‭by‬ ‭reducing‬ ‭wait‬ ‭times‬ ‭and‬ ‭simplifying‬ ‭the‬
‭payment process.‬

‭ . Establish a mission statement.‬

3
‭The‬‭mission‬‭of‬‭a‬‭project‬‭defines‬‭its‬‭purpose‬‭and‬‭clarifies‬‭what‬‭the‬‭project‬‭team‬‭aims‬‭to‬
‭accomplish.‬‭It‬‭answers‬‭questions‬‭like‬‭what‬‭the‬‭project‬‭will‬‭do‬‭and‬‭who‬‭it‬‭will‬‭benefit.‬‭The‬
‭mission is always aligned with the project's vision.‬

‭ he‬‭mission‬‭of‬‭the‬‭project‬‭is‬‭to‬‭implement‬‭the‬‭vision‬‭of‬‭creating‬‭a‬‭modern‬‭and‬‭efficient‬
T
‭tuition‬ ‭payment‬‭system‬‭that‬‭meets‬‭the‬‭needs‬‭of‬‭both‬‭students‬‭and‬‭university‬‭staff.‬‭The‬
‭project‬ ‭aims‬ ‭to‬ ‭simplify‬ ‭the‬ ‭payment‬ ‭process,‬ ‭enhance‬ ‭user‬ ‭experience,‬ ‭and‬ ‭ensure‬
‭timely‬‭processing‬‭of‬‭tuition‬‭fees.‬‭By‬‭doing‬‭so,‬‭it‬‭resolves‬‭the‬‭issue‬‭of‬‭inconvenience‬‭and‬
‭inefficiency in the current payment system.‬

‭ . Identify your main goal.‬

4
‭The‬‭main‬‭goal‬‭of‬‭the‬‭project‬‭is‬‭the‬‭overarching‬‭objective‬‭that‬‭the‬‭team‬‭aims‬‭to‬‭achieve.‬
‭It represents the ultimate outcome that the project strives for.‬
‭ he‬ ‭main‬ ‭goal‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬ ‭is‬ ‭to‬ ‭improve‬ ‭the‬ ‭efficiency‬ ‭and‬ ‭convenience‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬
T
‭tuition‬ ‭payment‬ ‭process‬‭.‬ ‭This‬ ‭goal‬ ‭aligns‬ ‭with‬ ‭the‬ ‭mission‬ ‭and‬ ‭vision‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬
‭and serves as the overarching objective to guide project activities and decisions.‬

‭ . Write your project objectives:‬

5
‭Objectives‬ ‭are‬‭specific,‬‭measurable‬‭outcomes‬‭that‬‭the‬‭project‬‭aims‬‭to‬‭achieve‬‭within‬‭a‬
‭certain‬ ‭timeframe.‬ ‭They‬ ‭serve‬ ‭as‬ ‭checkpoints‬ ‭to‬ ‭gauge‬ ‭progress‬ ‭and‬ ‭success.‬
‭Objectives‬ ‭should‬ ‭be‬ ‭SMART:‬ ‭Specific,‬ ‭Measurable,‬ ‭Attainable,‬ ‭Realistic,‬ ‭and‬
‭Time-bound.‬
‭Specific:‬‭Implement an online payment portal accessible‬‭to all students.‬
‭Measurable:‬ ‭Decrease‬ ‭average‬ ‭payment‬ ‭processing‬ ‭time‬ ‭by‬ ‭50%‬ ‭compared‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬
‭current system.‬
‭Attainable:‬ ‭Ensure‬ ‭that‬ ‭90%‬ ‭of‬ ‭students‬ ‭successfully‬ ‭use‬ ‭the‬ ‭new‬ ‭payment‬ ‭system‬
‭within the first semester of its launch.‬
‭Realistic:‬ ‭Collaborate‬ ‭with‬ ‭relevant‬‭departments‬‭to‬‭integrate‬‭the‬‭new‬‭payment‬‭system‬
‭into existing university infrastructure.‬
‭Time-limited:‬ ‭Complete‬ ‭the‬ ‭implementation‬ ‭and‬ ‭testing‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭new‬ ‭payment‬ ‭system‬
‭within six months.‬

‭Understanding Team’s roles and responsibilities‬

‭ nce‬ ‭the‬ ‭team’s‬ ‭Mission,‬ ‭Goals,‬ ‭and‬ ‭Objectives‬ ‭have‬ ‭been‬ ‭clarified,‬ ‭people‬ ‭must‬
O
‭understand their roles and responsibilities. These must be clearly defined.‬

‭ nderstanding‬‭roles‬‭and‬‭responsibilities‬‭within‬‭a‬‭team‬‭is‬‭crucial‬‭for‬‭its‬‭success.‬‭It's‬‭like‬
U
‭having‬‭a‬‭playbook‬‭in‬‭sports‬‭where‬‭each‬‭player‬‭knows‬‭their‬‭position‬‭and‬‭what‬‭they‬‭need‬
‭to‬ ‭do‬ ‭to‬ ‭contribute‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭team's‬ ‭victory.‬ ‭When‬ ‭team‬ ‭members‬ ‭understand‬ ‭their‬ ‭roles‬
‭and‬ ‭responsibilities,‬ ‭it‬ ‭creates‬ ‭clarity,‬ ‭promotes‬ ‭accountability,‬ ‭and‬ ‭enhances‬ ‭overall‬
‭team effectiveness.‬

I‭magine‬ ‭a‬ ‭group‬ ‭of‬ ‭people‬ ‭working‬ ‭together‬ ‭on‬ ‭a‬ ‭project,‬ ‭like‬ ‭building‬ ‭a‬ ‭house.‬ ‭Each‬
‭person‬‭has‬‭a‬‭specific‬‭role,‬‭such‬‭as‬‭the‬‭architect,‬‭contractor,‬‭electrician,‬‭and‬‭plumber.‬‭If‬
‭everyone‬ ‭knows‬ ‭their‬ ‭role‬ ‭and‬ ‭what‬ ‭tasks‬ ‭they‬ ‭are‬ ‭responsible‬ ‭for,‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬
‭progresses‬ ‭smoothly.‬ ‭The‬ ‭architect‬ ‭designs‬ ‭the‬ ‭structure,‬ ‭the‬ ‭contractor‬ ‭oversees‬
‭construction,‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭electrician‬ ‭and‬ ‭plumber‬ ‭handle‬ ‭their‬ ‭respective‬ ‭installations.‬
‭Without‬‭this‬‭clear‬‭understanding,‬‭chaos‬‭ensues‬‭(develop),‬‭leading‬‭to‬‭delays,‬‭confusion,‬
‭and potentially costly mistakes.‬
