Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.2.2 Opportunity framing

Course subject(s) 3. Opportunity framing

This video focuses on opportunity framing: a structured approach to understanding and defining an opportunity or project. It is the starting point for a robust, decision-driven process for the realisation of the opportunity or project. For projects this is first of all setting the boundaries on what the project is and is not.

The essence of opportunity framing is to decide together with the main stakeholders what the project will include and what not will be included (very important!).

In addition opportunity framing in the later phases of the project can be about adding scope and (re)framing the project concept. Important at opportunity framing is the interaction with stakeholders to secure project success. The process of opportunity framing can be summarised in a very simple picture supported by a simple statement:

Where are we now, where do we want to be and how do we get there?
