1. Develop a solid business case for your projects. Ensure you obtain senior managers’ agreement before you start the project. Research points out that too many projects are started without a firm reason or rationale. Developing a business case will identify whether it is worth working on.
2. Ensure your project fits with the key organisational or departmental agenda. If not, why do it? Stick to priority projects.
3. Carry out risk analysis at a high level at the initiation stage. Avoid going into great detail here – more an overview focussing on the key risks.
4. Identify at this early stage key stakeholders. Consider how much you need to consult or involve them at the business case stage. Seek advice if necessary from senior managers
5. Involve finance people in putting the business case together. They can be great allies in helping crunch the numbers which should give credibility to your business case.
