An Introduction
All projects need to clarify:
Who needs to be involved: Stakeholder Map
What the involved people will need to do and when: Project Plan
What is meant to be achieved by the project and why it’s important to do the project right now: Business Case
What risks there are for the project, what actions need to be completed from meetings, what decisions were taken and when, what planned activities are dependent on each other, what changes were agreed during the project work being done: RAID log Plus
How much it will cost in labour or outright expenditure: Budget Plan
For further clarity projects may also organise:
How authority is structured across roles within the project: Project Team
What the funding landscape and funding split may look like, and status monitoring: Funding Pipeline Tracker
How to propose or pitch the project to funders: Bid Writing
The Stakeholder Map helps you identify who you need to consult about your idea and doing the work to achieve your project. See the article “How to Complete a Stakeholder Map” in the Knowledge Hub to get started using this free resource!
This guidance is to support planning and execution for conservation projects. It aims to provide personal views and insights with practical examples of projects, the people involved in specific roles and, importantly, how projects could be kept under control and on the road to delivery. Alongside this content are user friendly templates to help you organise work, prepare for funding submissions, and facilitate easier post project audit success.
