My Pondering
The 7-C's of Project Fulfillment
1. CONSIDER - the project's purpose
Reflect upon the opportunity. Repent from previous misdeeds. Envision it's success and worst likely case scenarios. Brainstorm and Dream. Consider the ROI.
Is this a calling from God (big or small) and an opportunity to serve others in a meaningful way?
2. CLARIFY - the requirements of the project
Confirm this possible project's purpose is legitimate. Construct goals and milestones. Obtain interest from other stakeholders and teammates. Count the cost and set up accountability. Verify the ROI.
Discuss and prepare contingency plans.
Is this the NBRM (Next Best Right Move)?
Right time, right place (not perfect but good and right)?
3. COMMIT - to the project
Muster adequate resources.
Talk the walk. Build the team.
Lay out the mission and strategy.
Schedule and plan your work.
Are we all in and fully committed?
4. COMMENCE - the work of the project
Walk the talk! Talk is cheap / Action is dear.
Begin with a bang!
Build momentum.
Work you plan.
5. CONSISTENT - work, drive and grind to the progress of the project
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Inch by inch, it's a cinch. Steady and reliable work!
If it were easy, we wouldn't be necessary.
Be a creative problem solve and keep your eye on the prize and purpose.
Mark and celebrate milestones. Measure what matters.
Are we making sure and steady progress?
6. COMPLETE - the project properly
Close strong and cross the goal line.
Clean-up and document the key things.
Cross your t's and dot your i's.
Train and empower the users.
Has the work been fulfilled as promised? Is the place as good if not better than as we found it?
7. CELEBRATE - the win
Reward the contributors financially and with warranted praise.
Learn from everything.a
Celebrate with joy and thanksgiving.
What did we gain and learn from this?
Repeat with wisdom gained from experience
