New Project checklists

Sure, here are some general checklists for starting a new project:

1. Define the project's goals and objectives: Before beginning any new project, it is crucial to
determine what you are trying to achieve. Clearly define the project's goals and objectives
and make sure they align with the overall vision and mission of the organization.
2. Create a project plan: Develop a comprehensive project plan that outlines the project's
scope, timeline, budget, and resources required. This plan should include a detailed
breakdown of tasks, milestones, and deliverables.
3. Identify stakeholders: Identify all stakeholders involved in the project, including team
members, project sponsors, customers, and other relevant parties. Clearly define their roles
and responsibilities to ensure everyone knows what is expected of them.
4. Build a project team: Recruit and build a team with the required skills and expertise to
successfully complete the project. Ensure team members are aware of the project goals, their
roles and responsibilities, and the project plan.
5. Establish a communication plan: Develop a communication plan that outlines how team
members and stakeholders will communicate throughout the project. This plan should
identify key communication channels, protocols, and frequency of updates.
6. Identify and mitigate risks: Identify potential risks and challenges that may impact the
project's success. Develop a risk management plan that outlines strategies for mitigating
these risks.
7. Determine project metrics: Define the metrics that will be used to measure project success.
These may include project timelines, budget, and quality of deliverables.
8. Establish project governance: Define the project governance structure, including roles,
responsibilities, and decision-making processes. Ensure the governance structure is aligned
with the organization's overall project management framework.
9. Develop a change management plan: Anticipate changes that may occur throughout the
project and develop a plan for managing them. This plan should outline the steps that will be
taken to identify, assess, and manage changes.
10. Monitor and evaluate progress: Regularly monitor and evaluate project progress against the
project plan and metrics. Make adjustments as needed to ensure the project remains on track
and aligns with the organization's objectives.

Sure, here are some additional checklists for starting a new project:

11. Define project scope: Clearly define the boundaries of the project, including what is included
and excluded. This will help prevent scope creep and ensure that the project stays on track.
12. Develop a work breakdown structure: Create a detailed work breakdown structure that
breaks down the project into smaller, more manageable tasks. This will help ensure that all
tasks are accounted for and assigned to the appropriate team members.
13. Identify dependencies: Identify any dependencies between tasks or activities and ensure they
are accounted for in the project plan. This will help prevent delays and ensure the project
stays on track.
14. Develop a resource plan: Develop a plan for the resources required to complete the project,
including personnel, equipment, and materials. This will help ensure that all required
resources are available when needed.
15. Develop a quality management plan: Develop a plan for ensuring that the project's
deliverables meet the required quality standards. This may include quality control processes,
testing procedures, and quality assurance reviews.
16. Develop a procurement plan: Develop a plan for acquiring any required goods or services
from external vendors. This should include the vendor selection process, contracting, and
monitoring vendor performance.
17. Develop a training plan: Develop a plan for training team members on any new skills or
technologies required for the project. This will help ensure that team members are
adequately prepared to complete their assigned tasks.
18. Develop a close-out plan: Develop a plan for closing out the project once it is complete. This
should include a process for handing over deliverables to the customer, closing out
contracts, and conducting a final project review.
19. Define project success criteria: Clearly define the criteria that will be used to determine
whether the project is successful. This may include meeting project goals, completing the
project on time and within budget, and delivering high-quality deliverables.
20. Establish a project culture: Establish a project culture that promotes collaboration, innovation,
and accountability. This will help ensure that the project team is motivated and engaged
throughout the project lifecycle.
