Establish Short- and Long-term Priorities and Outcome Measures

Once strategic goals for your project are established, prioritize them and estimate general time frames for their completion. If you are implementing your repository in stages, you may elect to focus on some content areas or services initially and then widen your focus over time. Be sure to consider the availability of staff and resources when estimating the time frames. This information will be used to put together a project schedule.

Consider how your project team will know when an objective or goal has been reached. Review the goals and objectives and determine the criteria that must be met for that goal to have been met.
