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.
