Project Interview

Start with the project direction before the work is broken down into tasks. Answer a few core questions to create a clear project map.

Purpose of the interview

The project interview helps you capture purpose, goals, deliverables, risks and decisions before the project becomes just a list of tasks.

Project name

Give the project a clear name that will be easy to recognize later.

Why are we doing this project?

Describe the problem, need or opportunity that makes the project important.

What should be better when the project is complete?

Describe the effect, change or value that should be visible when the project has been completed.

What should be delivered?

List concrete results, documents, decisions, activities, system parts or other deliverables.

What can go wrong?

Identify risks, obstacles and uncertainties that could affect time, quality, responsibility or delivery.

Which decisions need to be made?

Describe important decisions, choices or approvals that the project depends on.

Next step

When the interview is saved, a project map is created. It gives you a shared overview before you continue to the workspace, risks, decisions and status report.
