project, their role, what they need to handle, and key due
dates to confirm everyone is clear moving forward.
STATUS UPDATES
Yes, you may rely on email heavily to follow up on tasks,
answer questions, deliver needed information, and simply
check in on project status; however, you still need to utilize
team meetings throughout the project launch. This allows
you to more efficiently answer questions, keep the entire
team up to date on status, and brainstorm any stumbling
blocks you may encounter.
Step 4: use project
management software
You need to be able to assign individual tasks to responsible parties.
You need to be able to communicate on individual tasks.
You need to be able to check off tasks as they are complete.
You need to be able to collaborate in “real time” on documents impacting the project.
Good project management software is essential. My top
pick is currently TeamWorkPM, often used in conjunction
with Google Drive.
You will utilize your detailed task calendar to set up the
project, project tasks, and responsible team member in
your project management software.
Step 5: close the project
When the project is complete, make sure all loose ends are
tied up before moving on. Here are a couple examples of
loose ends that can be left hanging:
1.
Opt-in pages for free calls now delivering the recording + applicable autoresponders updated.
2.
If it was a virtual event are you taking any steps
to utilize the content post event...turning it into a product?
Updating the sales page? Adding it to your main website?
3.
Pay affiliate commissions.
4.
Ensure all new clients/subscribers are being
handled appropriately.
Evaluate the success of the program launch.
Pull numbers from google analytics, your list management
service, your affiliate program, and shopping cart. Are the
stats what you expected? If not, what changes should you
consider for next time?
Document your thoughts now while the launch is fresh in
your mind!
