The P3O® Foundation (2013) manual identifies the Vision Statement as a section of the Blueprint. Section 4.3.3 states, "The Blueprint includes a Vision Statement that outlines the desired future state of the P3O model, guiding its development and implementation." This differs from business process swimlanes (A), which are tools, information portals (B), which are delivery mechanisms, and processes (D), which are detailed operational elements. The 2013 edition emphasizes the Vision Statement’s role in setting strategic direction within the Blueprint, a key implementation document. This ensures alignment with organizational goals throughout the P3O lifecycle.
