Project Planning – 10 Questions to Ask for Any Project

Most coaches, solopreneurs, and business owners are going to be involved in a variety of projects during the coming year. What can make it challenging is the fact that you might be working alone on a project, moving it ahead in small increments OR working with an entire virtual team.

Many of the same principles apply from program design (a focus here this past fal) to project planning, and we’re going to widen our focus a bit. From Lean, to Agile, to Six Sigma, larger and smaller organizations of all kinds have been iterating the way they work.
​
As coaches we may be involved in projects big and small – from creating a new digital product, to organizing a series of workshop. Honing our skills in project planning and project management is very important.
 As you step into your quarterly projects consider asking, reflecting and fostering discussion around these questions related to project planning:

10 Questions to ask:
  1. What is the end result we are looking for?
  2. What is important?
  3. What are the non-negotiables?
  4. What resources are going to help us get there?
  5. What are the triple constraints? What are the timelines, the resources, and budget we have to operate within?
  6. What milestones are we aiming towards? How clear is everyone in terms of what success will look like around these?
  7. What could pull us off course?
  8. What will help us stay focused?
  9. What communication and feedback loops have we put into place?
  10. What’s going to support that effort?
 
What other questions would you ask around the current projects you are working on?

Let us know what projects you have on the docket by sharing in the comments!
 
Best wishes,
Jennifer
