Every time you’re handed a new project,How to Begin Another Projects Articles have these measures to check if you’re on the proper path from the outset:
 
1.Having Obligation: Before you agree to consider on the duty of managing a project, make sure there is fine sponsorship, and that you have adequate support and resources to clear it on time. Your gut feel should be that the project is attainable and that whatever happens, you’ll have the whole financial support of your Sponsor through the project. If it’s not realizable or you miss financial support, then solve these 2 issues first, before you begin out.
2. Clarifying the Scope: Great, so you’ve agreed to take duty. The following step is to inspect the scope of the project to check that all of the deliverables to be produced during the project are adequately specified. You don’t wish to have part way through the project only to see that your client actually needed complementary deliverables that weren’t predetermined. So sit down with your customer and clear up all of the deliverables on day one. The good set of deliverables patterns the “scope” of the project and it’s vital that you document these in as much profound as you can, before you started out
3. The Deadline: A “Project” is an action which have to be presented by a fixed date. That date is commonly called the project “Deadline”. You have to agree the deadline with your customer, and it must be possible to reach. Instead of  agreeing on a set date, instead try and agree on a fixed timeframe for delivery. Ready an “ ideal delivery date” and a “last delivery date”. Ready the perfect delivery date attainable. That way, the last resort date, which may be a week, month or more later, gives you the eventuality you need in case the project is delayed.

4. Setting Priorities: Now that you take an approved set of deliverables, scope and deadline, you need to prepare the project priorities. Practice this by expressing your customer the perfect list of deliverables to be developed, and ask them “if for some reason, we couldn’t perfect all of the deliverables on time then which could be accomplished after the deadline, if any?”. Force as serious as you can to have them to correspond that several deliverables can be acquired after the deadline if ask be, because it introduces you additional eventuality for when you ask it. Then demand your customer to prioritize the list of deliverables from highest to lowest in order to coordinate these priorities with the undertakings in your plan.

5. Understand the Drivers: You basically need to figure out as much as possible about your client's business to recognize why the deadline, range and priorities have been accomplished as they have. Ask your customer what’s driving the deadline, why you can’t minimize the range further and why the deliverables have been  prioritize as they have. It’s important that you know the solutions to these doubts before you initiate out, so that you satisfy their demands in full.
 
Also, document these conversations with your client and get them to formally okay them. That way, you have a logical understanding of the range, deadline, priorities and drivers at the outset.
