Timelines

By completing this task, you will have:

• A high-level timeline overview

Tip

• Be realistic, but conservative in your assumption – always plan for a reasonable “buffer” (extra time).
• In general, it is better to “under promise and overdeliver” than the opposite. Our experience has taught – that delays are quite common; especially for complex organisational projects with multiple moving objects and difficult-to-control variables. Play it SMART and safe!
• Use this session to start prioritising to ensure you achieve intermediate goals, in due time vs the expectations or needs your Institution might have.

Aim: Develop a timeline overview. The SMART approach when setting Goals will also help you set clear timelines.

Objective: Focus on a desired ‘Go Live’ date for your CaReMe Clinic. At this stage, not necessary to develop a full project plan design (e.g. GANTT chart).

Method: The initial ‘Go Live’ date might change multiple times as the plan is refined – so don’t spend too much time setting a fixed date. Instead, get a sense of the execution time span (i.e. how many months, etc.).
