Step 1: Collect necessary data
Inside the template settings, you’ll find the project delivery initiation request form template. The request form is pre-built with fields that request vital information for project kickoff, such as project name, customer name, project budget, links and attachments to documents (including SOWs, quotes, and MSAs), desired service type, and more.
Configure your request form’s customizable fields to capture all of the data your team needs to begin working on a project.
Step 2: Outline all required steps before project delivery initiation
Once your request form is finalized, you can turn your attention to optimizing the custom workflow in the project delivery initiation template. Use the statuses built into our template, or create your own custom statuses to identify the various stages of your projects.
The project delivery initiation template includes a Wrike Space with three folders — New Project, Project in Initiation, and Templates — where you can organize projects and project delivery initiation document examples.
In the Templates folder, you’ll find the Project Delivery Initiation Checklist. The checklist serves as your source of truth during project delivery initiation, outlining each step that must be completed before a project can begin.
Alter the steps in this checklist to match your internal processes, so each team member is clear on necessary pre-project steps.
Step 3: Track progress with reports and dashboards
Once the project delivery initiation process has begun, the dashboard within our project delivery initiation template will help you track projects and view which stage of project kickoff they’re in.
The template dashboard allows you to view projects in the following stages:
- New Project
- Initiated
- Issues (Other)
- Issues (Resourcing)
- Issues (Commercial)
- Ready for Delivery
- On Hold
- Cancelled
