Description Organisations initiate and execute projects at an ever-increasing ratein order to achieve their strategic intentions. Many of these, however,find it difficult to measure the contribution that these projects maketowards the realisation of the organisational vision. In order to effectthese changes in a cumulatively beneficial way, a holistic approachis needed. The Vision-to-Projects (V2P) Framework was developed tofacilitate such an approach and can be applied to all organisationaltypes. This article shows how participatory action research was appliedin the development of the V2P Framework. While largely validatingthe theoretical framework, it did indeed reveal several beneficialmodifications to improve its applicability. The main results of this research are twofold. It firstly provides organisations with a framework that can be used to derive projects from the organisational vision and strategies, thereby ensuring continuous alignment. Secondly, it shows the successful use of participatory action research in the field of project management thathas been dominated, thus far, by quantitative research methods.
