You envisioned a project, and now you want to ensure that it is successful, right? Absolutely yes!
Once there is an agreement that the project has specific purpose, and will help achieve objectives for an organization. Then we must ensure that the following 4 things are aligned before we get into its execution.
Identify a Sponsor
Right. Without a Sponsor, you cannot move a single step ahead. It is important to have a stakeholder preferably a business, who can sponsor your project, and help obtain the necessary approvals.
Ensure that the Sponsor has a budget
Yeah, a sponsor having no money in the pockets would not be of much help. You must look for someone who already has a budget to fund the project, or can influence the budgets to secure funding of the project.
Sponsor's team supports the project
It is important to get a buy in from a bigger audience. A sponsor may help the cause, however your need to have a solid blueprint that can convince and align Sponsor's team.
IT has the resources to pull off the project
That sounds pretty basic. Yeah, but many projects fail at a later stage, because this aspect has not been thought through. Ensure that there is a mix available in the IT team to execute the various pieces of the project.
