#Decision points
Decisions to make along the way
- What are the milestones?
- Who owns each workstream?
#Approval points
No formal approval gate
This routine has no separate sign-off step, but review your work before it affects clients or finances.
#Success metrics
- On-time milestone delivery
- Clear task ownership
#Best practices
- Assign every task an owner and a due date.
- Confirm scope before work starts.
#Common mistakes
- Vague tasks with no owner.
- Skipping scope alignment.
#Realistic example
In practice
At kickoff the lead creates the project, adds the first two weeks of tasks with owners and dates, and confirms scope with the client before anyone starts building.
