Pop Quiz: What's the difference between Strategic and Check the Box project management? Strategic Project Management is all about alignment with business strategy. It focuses on ensuring that projects contribute to the organization's long-term goals. Think of it as a roadmap that anchors on the desired destination to guide decision-making, resource allocation, and risk management to achieve meaningful outcomes. On the flip side, Check-the-Box Project Management often prioritizes compliance and task completion over strategic thinking. It’s about following procedures and completing tasks without necessarily considering their impact or alignment with broader objectives. While this approach can help ensure that deadlines are met, it may require course correction and missed opportunities for growth and innovation.
