Exekveringsplanen

Exekveringsplanen is a term used in Danish and Norwegian contexts to denote a formal document that outlines how a project, policy, or program will be executed. It specifies objectives, scope, deliverables, milestones, responsibilities, and resources, and is intended to guide implementation and monitoring.

Purpose of Exekveringsplanen is to align stakeholders, provide a clear implementation path, allocate resources, manage risks, and enable progress tracking, governance, and accountability. It is often produced after strategic planning or program design and prior to execution.

Typical content of Exekveringsplanen includes objectives and success criteria; scope and boundaries; deliverables and milestones; schedule and timeline; roles and responsibilities; governance, decision rights, and escalation; resources and budget; risk assessment and mitigation; quality assurance and performance metrics; change management and communications; data, security, and compliance considerations; procurement and contracting; dependencies and interdependencies; acceptance criteria and handover.

Process and usage of the plan involve production by project leaders or program managers, sometimes with input from stakeholders; review by a sponsor or governance body; periodic updates to reflect changes; and use as a basis for tracking progress, reporting, and control. It can be integrated into a broader project management plan or used as a standalone document.

Variants and context: formats vary by organization and sector; the plan is common in public administration, healthcare, and IT projects in Nordic jurisdictions; it is sometimes called an execution plan, implementation plan, or program plan. While the term is traditional in Danish and Norwegian contexts, the underlying concept exists worldwide.
