Applying the checklist manifesto for project management success
This document discusses the importance of using checklists for project management success. It defines project management as a formal discipline used to efficiently plan, organize, and execute projects across many industries. Key aspects of project management include defining scope, estimating costs and timelines, managing risks, and measuring progress. However, projects are complex with many stakeholders, constraints, and components. Checklists can help address the challenges of complexity and routine operations, as there are often two phases in a project - too early to see issues and too late to address them. The document calls for having checklists for projects to help manage all the processes, knowledge areas, documentation, roles and tools involved.
