This document provides a checklist for creating a Project Initiation Document (PID). The PID checklist includes 4 sections that outline what the project is about, why it should proceed, who will work on it, and how and when it will be delivered. The checklist details items to include under each section, such as the project title, objectives, deliverables, roles and responsibilities, schedule, and quality control. Completing this comprehensive PID checklist helps ensure all necessary information is documented up front to plan and manage the project.
