Here are my top tips for a successful project startup<br /> <br /> 1) Manage your customer - Try and thing like the customer by putting yourself in their shoes - and involve them in the planning <br /> <br /> 2) Make sure you (and the team) understand what you are contracted to deliver (and what you are not!)<br /> <br /> 3) Split the project into phases if it is getting too complicated - define clear deliverables at the end of each phase<br /> <br /> 4) Plan, plan, plan - involve customers and your own delivery teams<br /> <br /> </font>
