Deliverables Checklist

I always find it helpful, once a final sponsorship contract is signed, to create a deliverables checklist. It is very simple. Just go through the contract and identify the deliverables and when they are due. Ask someone else on your team to review the list in case you missed something.

In addition to the checklist, I put together a detailed project plan with checkpoints, contact list and agenda for a kick-off meeting to be sure everyone is on the same page.

I also find that phone and/or face to face checkpoints are much more effective than email checkpoints. Sometimes difficult situations may arise and a call or face to face meeting will help the team iron out the issues.
