Boilerplate Checklists
Brad Blackman | Jun 9 2006
Does anyone use any sort of "boilerplate" checklists for completing a project? For example, I'm developing a website, and I want to write up a checklist of everything I need to do for it. I'm doing pretty much all of it except for writing content, but there are a lot of things that have to be done before other things can be done. In other words, do any of you use standard checklists for completing similar projects? 9 Comments

Chrome, as a project manager, I've found that writing out the scope of a project, even if it's similar to one I've done before, is a Zen moment. Suddenly, the next actions that need to take place are listed in crystal clarity. For that reason, I tend to avoid checklists. Listing the steps each time is too important to the creative (and, for that matter, motivational) process. Your mileage, of course, may vary. » POSTED IN:
