A Plan of Record (PoR) is an approved plan by senior leadership that illustrates an organization’s prioritized initiatives and projects. These initiatives should be in direct alignment with the operational plan that supports the organization’s annual goals and objectives. A Plan of Record is structured to communicate and manage a set of prioritized initiatives within a given time frame.
A Plan of Record (PoR) is a simple, yet powerful document that is easy to read and sets clear expectations for a given period of time. At the start of the period, the plan is immutable, hence the ‘of record’ title, so at the end of the period accountability is exceedingly clear. Until all stakeholders have agreed to the plan, it is not yet a Plan of Record.
In order to build the Plan of Record, it is best to start with analyzing the company’s business strategy and objectives. The highest priority objectives are then built into the Plan of Record as commitments. The Plan of Record should also take into consideration the team’s professional development goals, company initiatives and long-term strategic planning. The Plan of Record process can help drive alignment within an organization by clarifying which priorities must be accomplished and creating a document for everyone to view, including specific metrics of success over specific time frames.
Company KPIs and budgeting documents are helpful when creating the Plan of Record Software can also help organize and coordinate the Plan of Record process.
