initiation techniques. The first is to address the problem with overcoming inertia.
It is important and helpful to have a mechanism and templates to facilitate the
initiation of the project. The more that we have in the way of guides and guide-
lines, the easier it is to get started.
Another is to help funnel the early project efforts toward the project objec-
tives. The opposite of procrastination in project initiation is to move too quickly.

good time.” This will backfire, and have a deleterious effect on project success.
Project charters, team building, strategic planning, structure building, all help
us to get off to a good start.
