How to Start a Project In 10 Steps

▤ Summary

• Business Case: This document will provide the justification for the project by evaluating its benefits, cost and risk. Briefly, the kickoff involves gathering all the information you need to find the right team, the right tools and defining the project’s objectives and scope by creating a lot of documentation. The presentation should cover the top-level points about a project, such as objectives, scope, rules and responsibilities, approach, schedule and risk. So whether you choose a collaborative Powerpoint presentation or just invite key people to coffee, the important point is to get everyone on the same page as early as possible. It’s better to have these defined and delivered at the start of the project, so the beginning of the work doesn’t feel like a chaotic swarm of people demanding access to this or that, or worse, sitting idly by because they don’t have the software they need.
