About this template

For an agency, a consultancy or any business that delivers work for a client: the two weeks after the contract that set how the whole engagement goes. Kick-off, access and contacts, the plan agreed, the first delivery, and the check-in that catches a wrong turn early.

Tips from the template

  • Name the project after the client.
  • Kick-off within a week of signing, whatever the calendar says.
  • The 30-day check-in is where most engagements are saved or lost.
