Start here. Everything you need to launch a project the right way: a one-page charter, a stakeholder map, a RACI, a communication plan, and a ready-to-run kickoff meeting agenda. Fill it in top to bottom, and you're ready for kickoff.

How to use it

  1. Write the charter below with your sponsor. Keep it to one page.
  2. Map your stakeholders by power and interest, so you know who to manage closely.
  3. Assign roles in the RACI, with exactly one Accountable per row.
  4. Plan communications: who gets what, how often, and through which channel.
  5. Run the kickoff meeting using the agenda at the bottom.
