Active work on an IT strategic plan begins with a scan of the external environment and a review of institutional priorities. Systematically evaluating these factors sets the groundwork for a strategic plan based on shared facts and assumptions, and ensures that IT strategic planning working groups give appropriate weight to environmental and institutional needs.
