Be sure it’s a project
– One off – in response to a specific opportunity
– Unique scope of work
– Cost constraints, with:
– Costs that can be identified in advance
– Separate budget
– Time constraints, with:
– Fixed duration
– Defined start and end point

Clarify it in a project charter
– Charter, charge, outline – call it what you will:
– Draft
– Document
– Discuss
– Define
– Decide
– Detail who is accountable for what

RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX: RASCI Prepare a RASCI chart for each decision or activity you undertake. It clarifies roles and prevents blind-
siding. List important decisions and activities down the side. Put people involved at the top of the columns.
Fill in the boxes:
R = Responsible (only one R in each row)
A = Accountable/Approves
S = Supports “R”
C = Consulted by “R”
I = Informed (even after the fact)
Decision/Activity/Task: ________________________________________________________

Decision To be Taken

And hold them to it
– Most problems with projects are the result of people:
– not understanding where they are going
– how their job fits
– what’s expected of them
– Concentrate on these 4 C’s:
– Context
– Communication
– Clarity
– Confidence
