Annual Planning
Annual planning is the once-a-year process of setting a business's goals, budget, and major initiatives for the coming year.
Example
A leadership team sets three major initiatives, a revenue target, and a hiring budget for the year, then breaks each into quarterly milestones.
Why it matters
A yearly plan gives every smaller decision, like whether to take on a new initiative mid-year, something concrete to be weighed against.
Limits and cautions
A plan treated as fixed rather than a living document becomes a reason to ignore real changes in the market partway through the year.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's roadmap and goal tracking can carry annual targets down into the quarterly and weekly work that ladders up to them.
