Abstract
Six years of the implementation of the Federal Law “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation” were focused on the development of documents and recommendations for them. This determined the fragmentation of public administration and strategic planning. However, according to the author, the basis of the strategic planning system that meets modern challenges and threats should not be documents, but processes. The introduction of new tools will allow the transition from project management and strategic planning to strategic management in the Russian Federation. Such tools include the introduction of management cycles of strategic planning, resource support for the realization of goals, the organization and implementation of the monitoring and control process, a system of continuous indicative planning and balance sheets.
