Dmitry, these are vision statements, a way to help people see where they are going, not a mission statement that a manager might use to define what his/her group wil do/not do. I can’t give you vision statements from my clients’ projects, but here’s what I have in the current draft of the PM book I’m writing:
Put LucindaÂs Lunch on the web. Make it possible and easy for her customers to order their breakfast and lunch (catering and solo, pickup and delivery). Lucinda will expand her business and we will get another happy client.
Hope this helps.

I have been writing Vision Statements for years and in my experience their value is not limitted to the large, multi-sub-projects scope. Even for a small size project writing upfront a short (10 pages max) document or, event better, a PPT outlining the major objectives you are going to achieve would be a tremendous contribution to improving communication and team jealing.

I believe a vision statement is important and makes sure as part of any communication plan that everyone know what they they have to deliver as a team /sub-teams. However, in terms of delivering a successful project nothing makes more of a difference than :-
- Sponsorship – KEY
- Bottom-up project planning
- Regular project plan updates and where necessary wrokpackage assessments.
- Risk /Issue managment
- Technically talented and motivated staff
Nothing in my view makes more of a difference than this little lot.
