Stop managing projects without this checklist.
The core essentials of any successful project are often overlooked—and that can lead to costly delays, missed deadlines, and frustrated teams. Here’s why the right project foundation matters more than ever in today’s fast-paced world.
Key Essentials:
Define your “why” to keep every team member on track.
According to the PMI, 37% of projects fail due to a lack of clear objectives (PMI, 2021).
2. Detailed Timeline:
Break down every step to stay ahead of deadlines.
Research shows that 89% of high-performing projects include a clear timeline (Wrike, 2022).
3. Assigned Roles:
Make sure everyone knows their responsibilities.
75% of projects fall behind when roles aren’t clarified early on (Gallup, 2021).
4. Risk Management Plan:
Prepare for the unexpected to prevent setbacks.
In fact, 62% of failed projects lacked a robust risk plan (PMI, 2021).
5. Communication Strategy:
Keep everyone in the loop.
Collaboration improves project success by 64% (Asana, 2023).
Having these essentials ready can make all the difference in navigating today’s project landscape, where clear processes can make or break success.
