• All meetings require a Meeting Report to be completed and filed in project folder.
  • The best way to use the Meeting Report is to fill in the meeting information, fill in the agenda, and send the Meeting Report to the meeting attendees. During or after the meeting, fill in the minutes with any assignments noted; distribute the final document to the team and post in the project folder.

• PM ensures the SOW or Project Charter is properly completed and ready for submission
• PM creates the RAIDCBT (Risk, Action Item, Issues, Decisions, Change, Business Process, and Training Needs).
  • The risk assessment and risk management plan is completed and updated in the RAIDCBT.
  • All issues and action items are tracked, escalated, and managed to resolution by the PM.
  • PM distributes blank Change Control form to the Client and project team.
