Check on an Existing Project

Such a checklist can also be used if you are taking over the management of an existing project. It’s good to identify any gaps and highlight them, along with the cost/benefits to get the support from the sponsors to make any necessary changes. It’s always much more difficult to put processes in place when everything’s in progress already.

Publish the Project Checklist

Always publish! In fact, associating some sort of graphical representation of the health of the project, such as a graph or thermometer for each item, showing how the project rates and how it is improving over time, will add a new and refreshingly open dimension to your project reporting, project check list.
