All companies work in project mode. It's almost self-evident, but it's not so easy to organise. Here are 6 best practices to follow before getting started.

Illustration of the practical guide to preparing for your project

1. Define your objectives

This is essential if you are to launch a project that meets your needs and expectations.

2. Drawing up a provisional schedule

Plan the deadlines, the target date, the key stages and the structure of the project so as to organise it efficiently while limiting the risks.

3. Budgeting

If costs have to be incurred, draw up budgets to monitor expenditure, even if you have to make changes along the way.

4. Define measurement indicators

Quantitative and qualitative, they enable you to frame your project by adjusting decisions and tasks.

5. Define the perimeter

Who should be involved in what tasks, and what tools should be used at what stage? Defining them in advance will help you avoid being hindered by unforeseen factors.

6. Identify the necessary resources

You'll save time and organisation: budgets, rooms, equipment, speakers, etc.
