Project Management Checklist

Checklist to keep your projects on track.

We manage between 10 and 20 projects concurrently. On a weekly basis we try and ask the questions below on each project to make sure our projects stay on track. It is hard to manage software development. It is even harder to manage client expectations.

  1. Is there anything in the project that can impact on the deadline that the client is not aware of?
  2. Is there any additional information we need from the client to ensure we make the deadline?
  3. Does the client know what progress is being made?
  4. When last did we speak to the client?
  5. Is the client expecting what we will deliver? Is there a mismatch in expectations?
  6. Are we spending more time on this project than what we quoted?
  7. Is time invoiced in line with deliverables completed?
  8. Is payment for this project up to date?
  9. Are developers aware of exactly what they must do next?
  10. Do contracted developers know what they can invoice at the end of the month?
  11. Are we happy and are we having fun?
