In larger projects, there is a project "kick off" phase to complete all tasks needed before work begins. This kick off is important for making assumptions and decisions that could determine the project's success. There are 6 simple steps to start any project: define goals and objectives, identify team members and their strengths/weaknesses, define the tasks clearly with no misunderstandings, create an actionable plan to achieve completion on time, delegate work to allow faster progress and develop skills, and execute and continuously monitor the project using communication with the team.
