The Community College of Baltimore County’s Vanguard Project Plan lays out its operational plan to achieve the expected outcomes contained in the Vanguard Project Objectives. The format of the Vanguard Project Plan was developed based on CCBC’s integrated planning model and is designed to complement the College’s strategic plan Learning First.

The Vanguard Project Plan is organized around the five Vanguard Objectives and the Expected Outcomes for each objective. For each Expected Outcome, the plan notes its Priority (rated as primary or secondary), outlines the Outcome Action Steps, sets forth the Completion Date(s), and includes relevant Notes for background. Each of the Action Steps is also linked to a more detailed Action Planning Worksheet.

To develop the Vanguard Project Plan, CCBC first assessed the current status of each of the Vanguard expected outcomes within the College. The College’s current operational plan was then reviewed in light of the Vanguard Project’s expected outcomes. The next step was to develop a set of Outcome Action Steps for the project plan. The final step was to align and integrate the Vanguard Project Plan into the College’s annual operational planning and budgeting cycle.
