THE PROJECT LEADER'S
CHECKLISTS
LOGIC DOMAIN
This is where you find the management frameworks, methods, models, and tools of project management. These are the ‘mechanics-side’ of leadership.
END-GAME
OVERARCHING END-GAME

| Is the project’s scope/ vision/ purpose clearly defined, and is it valid/ justified? |
| Does the scope clearly outline what the end-game deliverables of the project are? |
| Are the in-scope, and out-of-scope aspects clearly defined? (Is it clear what the end-game is and is not?) |
| Is there consensus and buy-in across the stakeholder base for what the project’s end-game is? |
| Is the overarching end-game (Vision, Scope, Purpose) clearly visible to all stakeholders? |
COMMUNICATION
| Have all the key stakeholders been invited, included, and engaged in the final end-game exercise? (Do those who must know about the project, know about it?) |
