DP&M Definition & Purpose
The Defence Planning & Management framework is the overarching structure that DND/CF uses to:
- Plan its long, mid and short term strategic direction;
- Manage the Sustaining and Change Agendas;
- Monitor performance and risk management; and,
- Report to government through the Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) and the Departmental Performance Report (DPR).

DP&M Core Processes
The DP&M includes six interdependent components or processes; each with its own set of requirements and steps, and each involving aspects of Risk Management. The six processes are:
- Strategic Visioning - provides a roadmap (i.e. Strategy 2020), consisting of the overall strategic vision and long term strategic objectives, to steer planning and decision-making to deal with defence challenges that may emerge in the future. More
- Capability-Based Planning - produces the "capability targets and gaps" of the DND/CF consistent with the department's white paper and strategic vision. More
- Resource Prioritization - involves analyzing corporate priorities and establishing resource priorities over multiple planning horizons, including the immediate planning cycle. More
- Business Planning - establishes annual plans and priorities and balances the investment in sustaining ongoing operations and activities with the investment required to modernize the Forces. More
- In-Year Management - involves monitoring the progress against the Defence Plan, managing the impact of significant issues and new requirements and adjusting resources in response to new pressure. More
- Performance Management - outlines the structure and focal areas (i.e. Strategy Map) for measuring performance in the DND/CF through which senior management monitors the achievement of results and reports on performance. More

DP&M Planning Horizons
There are three planning 'horizons' or views which assist in the planning process. Each looks at the different future term, and carries a different focus. The horizons are:
- Horizon 1 - a short-term view of 1 to 4 years, focusing on maintaining and enhancing current capabilities;
- Horizon 2 - a medium-term view of 5 to 10 years, focusing on replacing or enhancing current capabilities; and,
- Horizon 3 - a long-term view of 10 to 30 years, dependant on the nature of capability and the degree of technological change involved. It focuses on acquiring new capabilities.
Within the DP&M framework, Strategic Visioning focuses on horizon 3, while Capability-Based Planning focuses on horizon 2, and Resource Prioritization and Business Planning each focus on horizon 1.
