Project Charter & Kickoff Pack (Excel)
The four things a project needs before day one: a charter, a RACI, a stakeholder and comms plan, and a checklist of what must be in place before kickoff.
Sold and delivered through Etsy; download available immediately after payment. Why Etsy shows a higher number: €16,95 is the price excluding VAT. Etsy is the merchant of record and adds your country’s VAT at checkout, so an EU buyer in the Netherlands pays €20,51 (€16,95 + 21%). Buyers outside the EU are charged their own local rate, or none.
An Excel pack covering the four things a project needs before day one: a charter, a RACI, a stakeholder and communications plan, and a checklist of what must be in place before kickoff. One workbook, so the charter and the people who signed up to it stay in the same file. Editable throughout.
Projects that go wrong late usually went wrong early, in the fortnight where scope, decision rights and escalation routes were assumed rather than agreed.
The RACI is the tab that repays the effort. Most disputes later in delivery are not about the work; they are about who was supposed to approve it, and a RACI agreed at kickoff is the cheapest way to settle that question before it becomes expensive.
Who it is for
Project managers starting a new project, and PMOs setting an initiation standard.

Questions
Is a charter the same as a PID?
A charter is the shorter form. If your organisation requires a full project initiation document, the charter tab provides the content it needs.
Should the RACI be agreed in the kickoff or before it?
Before. A RACI drafted in advance and confirmed at kickoff takes ten minutes; one drafted live takes the whole meeting.
