How To Make & Maintain A Project List

A project list is an important part of any project management process, as it can be as simple as a to-do list or a corral for many projects. It can be used to collect the phases of a project, teams, contractors and vendors, equipment, tools and more. It can also serve as a checklist that makes sure you have all the important project information logged and accessible. It is better to have too many than too few items, as you can always edit it down later. Project lists are essential for organizing traditional projects, as they detail the priority, due date, who's assigned, what resources are needed and more.

They should be short, but substantial, and should be open to updates as the project plan and schedule change. When making a project list, it is important to start with a pen and paper, as it doesn't lend itself to collaboration and all the work will have to be transferred to whatever tool is used to manage the project.
