The article analyzes the case of creating a project for Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University development. This process resulted in the adoption of a university development program until 2024.

There are presented the results of the analysis of all project development stages, the work of focus groups with the main stake holders, the group work on the blocks of the program and the sessions devoted to the road maps. This case can be useful to those who are starting this kind of activity for the first time, since the authors describe the progress of work and consider its timing, as well as the difficulties encountered. The article also explains why this or that decision was made, indicates the right decisions, reveals the errors and the lessons learned.
