Short-term and long-term business planning

Business development project planning

When certain business opportunity is defined and well-grounded (for ex: necessity to intensify sales through Internet) it should be discussed with involved persons (ex: company head, head of sales department and corporate webmaster). When opportunity is properly discussed and agreed it can be elaborated into specific objectives, for example: to launch and promote new advanced web-site and to attract customers by new, favorable on-line propositions. Then these objectives can be broken down into tasks and each executer can be assigned to specific portion of work - sales department should prepare policy of on-line sales and webmaster should design new web-site. This kind of work is a cross-department project which is planned and controlled by business development department.

Business development project tracking
Business development department should keep track of multiple tasks that are assigned to multiple executers in different departments in the context of various development projects. Development project tracking is a very important activity because it shows if planned improvements are implemented according to schedule and if any obstacles slow down the progress. The time is very important, because some business opportunities can be missed because of delays. The tracking of multiple tasks can be facilitated by special software that allows project managers from business development department to monitor tasks assigned to specialists from other departments: webmaster, sales manager and others.

For proper management of development projects good internal communications between project executers and supervisors should be established. To ensure such communications executers of tasks need to have a tool which allows them to deliver information about their performance to supervisors instantly and supervisors need to have a tool that allows them to receive execution reports and analyze project progress with a help of charts and printable tabs.
