What this resource is for

- Kickoff
- Access
- Scope confirmation
- Communication
- First milestone
How to use it
Step 1: Kickoff
Work through the checks in the order the task happens. Mark missing information instead of filling the gap with an assumption.
Step 2: Access
Start by writing the current state without trying to improve it. That keeps the review anchored to what actually happens today.
Step 3: Scope confirmation
Record the part that changes the decision, then attach an owner and a date to anything that still needs evidence.
Step 4: Communication
Finish by deciding what changes, what stays the same and when the result should be reviewed again.
Step 5: First milestone
Finish by deciding what changes, what stays the same and when the result should be reviewed again.
What a useful result looks like
