Project Startup Protocol
At the beginning of a new project, the team member facilitating the role of business development, and the person facilitating the role of account manager need to go through the Project Startup Asana Template together to ensure that everything required to start a new project has been completed: https://app.asana.com/0/799112075265394/799112075265426
Here's the list for reference:
Confirm the paperwork
The check-in with Management if the SOW is in order. Example - it is signed, it has correct invoicing date, etc
This is for Lisa's (legal) and Jen's (accounting) benefit as well as smooth progression of the project
Create VV group email for the project:
Ask Lisa or Puneet to create a group email alias
Ensure the group email can receive emails from an external party (non-vv email)
Example: endeavor@vaudevilleventures.com
Ensure all the required members are added
P.S - TN, MW & MF are added in all groups by defaults
Create Google Drive:
Create the required folders
All drives needs to have 7 folders mandatory (atleast) i.e.
SOW/MSA,
Meeting Notes,
Materials from clients,
Strategy decks,
Project Plan,
Research, &
Ideation
The drive needs to be shared with all the members of the project with 'edit' option on
To ensure that under meeting docs, the first document is created using VV template for note taking
Create Slack Channel
Ensure all members are added in that channel
If a client is needed to be added over to a slack channel, they should be invited as 'single-guest user'
Client-facing slack channel and internal slack channel should be separate and demarcated appropriately.
Create a Roster
Determine the VV team (Taylor will need to help determine staff assignments for the project.)
Create a team roster
All details of the people involved includes VV as well as the client side.
(title, email i'd, linkedin and phone #)
Create the asana task inviting all members
To invite all the people involved
Ensure TN, MW & MF are added in the projects
Ideally, the asana could be helpful to look at early morning to know what is a priority and before/after working sessions
Schedule Internal kickoff & Client kickoff:
Schedule an internal kick off, which includes a table read of the SOW
Internal kick off should include with all the required VV members of the project
Kick off should establish the team and their roles, provide relevant client background info, review the scope and deliverables, review the high-level timeline, discuss the open items on the creative/strategic brief, establish questions that need to be addressed by the client

Schedule a client kickoff
Once VV has finished the table-read, a client kick off should be scheduled
