Goal oriented project planning for effective problem solving by vinay
To understand the GOPP and its related
concepts
To get an insight about the procedure and
steps involved in GOPP
To use GOPP as a tool for effective problem
solving
UNDERSTANDING OF GOPP
AND ITS RELATED CONCEPTS
Goal reflects our purpose in
the life and have wide-
spread impact on our lives
‘A’ Priority Goals – “MUST DO” Goals
‘B’ Priority Goals – “DESIRABLE TO DO”
Goals
‘C’ Priority Goals – “CAN WAIT” Goals
Innovative Village Preparatory Project
 Goal
The longer term or wider objective
 Objective:
Immediate aims of the project – what is
set out to do
Outcomes
 Effects or change in the project aims to bring
about.
Outputs
What the project will specially deliver.
Task to be completed or activities to be
implemented.
Activities
What needs to be done to achieve the
outputs.
GOPP
 GOPP stands for Goal Oriented Project (Programme or
Participatory) Planning.
 Also know as OOPP
 In French GOPP know as PIPO
 In German as ZOPP
 LF is also used as a term
GOPP
 An innovative tool
 interactive workshops
 Using the GOPP approach, all the stakeholders and
(future) partners are involved
GOPP HAS POTENTIAL USE
 Used in a wide variety of situations since the 1980s
and has proved to be robust and effective in helping
groups defining clear objectives and designing
related action plans
 An excellent method for improving team
effectiveness, HRM and problem solving
 Planning and re-planning of interventions
The idea of GOPP is to make sure
• That decisions are reached and recorded
• That if anything left undecided the reasons for
this are agreed and
• That team members reach a consensus on the
aims and actions of the project.
• Key to it all is the facilitator, who remains
neutral and ensures objectivity.
GOPP aims:
• To improve the quality of the analysis made by the
group of partners in the design phase of a project
• To make the project more coherent and transparent by
clarifying the responsibilities of each partner
• To provide trust and self-confidence to project partners
• To improve the capacity of the group of partners to
achieve more results in a limited time
• To create accountability
• A planning instrument
Types of plans in the management
sectors

THE HIERARCHY OF PLANS

PERT (Programme Evaluation Review
Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method)
• Techniques of project management useful in
the basic managerial functions of Planning
scheduling and control
• used to break down the large projects to
individual jobs or events and arranged in a
logical network
• Plan your work first…..then work your plan

PERT and Time Estimates
Optimistic Time Estimate
Pessimistic Time Estimate
Most probable/ Most likely Time Estimate
The PERT Assumption
Activities are independent
The CPM Model
• A “Deterministic” rather than “probabilistic”
model
• Allows for variations in job times as the
planned and expected outcome of resource
assignments
• Advantages of CPM and PERT
The procedure and steps
involved in GOPP
GOPP: Principles and Steps
Principles of GOPP
• Planning is done logically and completely
documented
• Planning is done in groups, together with those who
have to implemented
• Planning first determines the goal and then the
appropriate measure to achieve the goal
Objectives of GOPP
• Identify potential participants in a project
• Improve communication and cooperation
• Analyze the causes and effects of a given core
problem
• Define realistic, definite and sustainable
project objectives
• Clarify the scope of responsibility of project
participants
• Specify necessary project inputs/activities
necessary to achieve results and
• Provide sound basis for supervising projects,
monitoring and controlling progress,
evaluating impact and making appropriate
changes when necessary
Steps involved in GOPP
• 1 Analysis of project´s Context
• 2 Analysis of Stakeholders
• 3 Problem Analysis/Situation Analysis
• 4 Objectives Analysis
• 5 Plan of Activities
• 6 Plan of Resources/Inputs
• 7 Indicators/measurements
• 8 Risk Analysis
• 9 Analysis of Assumptions
Problem analysis

Goal oriented project planning for effective problem solving by vinay
• A problem is the difference between
someone’s actual state and the state he wants
to be in.
• A well-defined problem is already half way to
being solved
• The seriousness of the anticipated efforts of a
problem determines both how the problem is
perceived and how urgently a solution is
sought
 Preparation stage
 Execution stage
 Evaluation stage
• The principles of GOPP ensures and confirm
that it is an effective tool for defining the
problem and solving it effectively.
• It helps to retain what has proved successful,
remember the steps which improved progress
and discover the weak points
• GOPP assists extension in problem-solving by
lending support to people in solving their
problem by helping them to analyze it in a
structured way, as well as by informing and
motivating them to solve it.
Benefits of Structured Problem
Solving process
Remove time lost in debate
Identify weak points in processes
Discover systemic causes
Explain with reasons why an incident occurred
Gives a factual representation of the incident
Compare what actually happened against what
should have happened, at any point during the
incident
It avoids the complexity of reality
Goal oriented project planning for effective problem solving by vinay
• The primary strength of the technique is
considered to be the principle of basing all
planning on the analysis of existing problems,
as perceived by those who actually have to
deal with them
• This anchors each plan in reality, assures its
relevance and ensures that the interests of the
‘beneficiaries’ are served first and foremost,
rather than those of the ‘suppliers’
