Topic: Startup toolkits
In this newsletter, we look at toolkits that include checklists and question lists for account reviews and post-mortems.
Checklists and process templates enable entrepreneurs to provide quality results reliably. They provide guidance that complements archived examples of reports and decision records. They also enable delegation and help you and other team members to avoid repeating old mistakes when you are scoping or planning a new project or product release, and prevent the kinds of simple mistakes that can be overlooked in the last-minute crunch of meeting a deadline.
Post-Mortem reviews offer a powerful mechanism for capturing and refining the checklists and templates you used on a project. If you are moving so fast you don’t have time for checklists, templates, and post-mortems, it’s very likely you are moving too fast, and your efforts will not pan out.
