What we have done within the IT group at my company is to align the IT action steps and annual targets to the company’s strategic goals. We have created a coding system such that each project (annual target) has a custom field with the corresponding code. The IT strategic plan is a published table and simplifies the coding process—the goal is numbered and the action step is lettered. Each project (annual target) is assigned to a project owner with the start date set. We identify all IT action steps at the beginning of the year and add them into Asana. There is also a code for unplanned projects.
We also add other custom fields to track hard savings and man hours saved for relevant projects during a fiscal year.
The idea is that at the end of the year we can report on the efforts towards the company’s strategic goals and objectives.
