    Strategic projects focus on gaining a competitive advantage by supporting an organization's overall direction, while tactical projects achieve specific goals defined in a strategic plan. Operational projects vary widely and can be strategic, tactical, or operational in nature. Compliance projects implement changes within an organization to conform to regulatory requirements. Rolling wave planning is an iterative technique where work close in time is planned in detail, while future work is planned at a higher level. As a project progresses, risks, assumptions, and milestones originally identified become more defined through progressive elaboration.

    Strategic project
    In these projects, meeting a tactical goal on time and within
    budget are key considerations. A strategic project, on the other
    hand, has a primary goal of gaining the competitive advantage
    by focusing on the organization's overall direction.

    tactical goal
    The steps or tactics needed to achieve the goals defined
    in a strategic plan. For example, if a company's strategic
    plan is to become a market leader, its tactical plan might
    be to double the amount spent on advertising and
    marketing.
    Operational projects
    Operations management is an occupational field concerned
    with the design and management of products, processes,
    services and supply chains. Operational projects vary widely.
    They range from strategic to tactical and operational levels.
    Compliance projects
    Compliance projects involve implementing change within an
    organization—or more broadly, in a social setting—to confirm
    to rules, laws, policies and standards of governance that may
    be imposed by regulatory bodies and government agencies.

    Understanding Rolling Wave Planning:


    Rolling wave planning is an iterative planning technique and a form of progressive elaboration in which

    the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail and future work is planned at a higher

    level of the WBS.

    Example:

    During early strategic planning, when information is less defined, work packages may be decomposed to

    the milestone level and then further decomposed into activities as more information is available for

    them. Therefore, work can exist at various levels of WBS detail depending on where it is planned in the

    project life cycle.

    Note:

    The concept of “progressive elaboration” is an important one in project management. We mentioned in

    a previous session that project plan management happens iteratively throughout the project life cycle.

    The reason for these iterations is that as we progress through the project, we learn more and more

    about it. So progressive elaboration involves continuously improving and detailing the plan as more

    detailed and specific information (including more accurate estimates) become available. It allows a

    project team to define project work and manage it to a greater level of detail as the project progresses.

    Rolling-wave planning is the process of project planning in waves as the project


    proceeds and later details become clearer; similar to the techniques used in
    agile software development approaches like Scrum.. Work to be done in the
    near term is based on high-level assumptions; also, high-level milestones are
    set.
    Rolling Wave Planning is the process of project planning in waves as the project
    proceeds and later details become clearer. Work to be done in the near term is
    based on high level assumptions; also, high level milestones are set. As the
    project progresses, the risks, assumptions, and milestones originally identified
    become more defined and reliable. One would use Rolling Wave Planning in an
    instance where there is an extremely tight schedule or timeline to adhere to;
    whereas more thorough planning would have placed the schedule into an
    unacceptable negative schedule variance. This is an approach that iteratively
    plans for a project as it unfolds, similar to the techniques used in Scrum
    (development) and other forms of Agile software development. The concepts of
    Rolling Wave Planning and Progressive Elaboration are techniques within the
    PMBOK Define Activities process and it also describes how the Project
    Management Plan evolves.
