Missions
For developing missions of any project or organisation, the following two questions answers should be written: 1. What are we going to do? 2. How are we going to do it
Examples of visions

The vision statement describes *future* state: "Who do I want to be? Where do we want to go?" The vision should be inspirational and slightly out of reach. Typically, it is a person or organization's vision that provides a framework for planning.
Objectives

This indicates to perform a number of tasks including typing text into computer, reviewing some questions/criteria that have already be written, printing out the assignment for proofreading and so on.
