The Project Lifecycle Cheat Sheet is a 3-page reference for moving work from Intake to Measure.
For each of the five phases (Intake, Align, Build, Launch, Measure), you get:
- The purpose of the phase
- Key questions to use as a readiness check
- Key activities and outputs
- Who owns what
- The anti-patterns that derail most initiatives
Use it at kickoffs, phase gate reviews, and retrospectives, or share it with your delivery teams as a quick-start guide.
Built by Priya Udeshi of The PMO Engine. It is also one of the toolkit artifacts in the live course, From Status Reports to Strategy.
