Ready to launch?

New Year, New Project?

Are you about to kick off a new program or launch a new product?

Do you have a new team to build or onboard? Are they local, remote, or working in another hemisphere?

What’s the risk profile for this new program?

Have you connected with the project’s sponsors? Are the stakeholders aligned on scope, budget, and schedule?

The work you do to answer these questions before the actual project kick-off is critical to its success. So many projects have been derailed or cancelled for failing to meet a business objective not brought to light during either the conception of initiation phases.

Some products achieve enough momentum and actually launch, only to be subsequently killed off before being brought to market. The whole effort is accounted for as a loss, the design and delivery teams are demoralized and/or disbanded.

There are critical success factors that must be addressed prior to launching a new initiative to ensure the project achieves orbital velocity.

Once your team has established a consistent delivery cadence, you must monitor critical project health indicators and remain in regular contact with key stakeholders to ensure your program’s success.

How do you ensure your new project doesn’t run over-budget, late, or worse fails to launch?
