Project Planning checklist

 Taking the time up front to plan out a project will always pay off. Here is a checklist to help you get started.

  • Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - Before work starts, create an MOU with your team
  • Workplan - Create a basic workplan so that you and others have a basic idea of what the project entails
  • Documentation - Document the project before, during, and after the project is completed.
  • Timelines - Establish a timeline to anticipate completed milestones
  • Roles and workforce- Establish who fills what roles. How often and with what methods will you communicate?

Memorandum of Understanding

An MOU covers details of a project like scope, background information, project members and responsibilities, workplan, ownership, technology limitations, and dates of coverage of the MOU.
