Project Management
Checklist
Need
a project management checklist for an information management project
and want some practical suggestions to ensure rapid project delivery?
A project management plan is a communications tool, which clearly sets
expectations for all team members.
It helps new team members quickly see who is involved with the project
and helps minimize project delays due to miscommunication. It also
helps
other stakeholders know what
is
expected of them and when.
Some organizations have very large IT departments and staff are
assigned to numerous projects at one time—A project plan
ensures that all
team
members know what
they are expected to deliver, when it
is
required, who
will accept the deliverable and how
it will be approved.
The following items should be considered as part of project planning.
