VelorStrategy — Project Launch

Purpose of This Page

This Project Launch space is your final step before execution begins. Unlike the Charter (which authorizes the project) or the Plan (which details how it will be run), this page is designed to help you verify readiness, align team members, secure approvals, and move confidently into action.

Confirm key roles, timelines, scope, and dependencies.
Use live checklists and notes to finalize team alignment.
Prepare messaging, kickoff, and team activation steps.
