Abstract

This study focuses on the process for aligning project management with business strategy. We conducted a case study research with a total of 9 projects in 7 organizations across industries, leading to a theoretical framework for such the alignment process. We found that there are processes at the strategic level to interpret the business strategy into the context of project management. These processes include strategic planning and project portfolio management. A project is then selected into the project portfolio to fulfill business needs, and it is executed through a project life cycle process. As the project progresses, a stage gate is a major mechanism to ensure the quality of the alignment throughout its life cycle.
