Diagnose misalignments against the SOW and prioritise them
Compares what the client expressed at kickoff against the SOW and delivery plan to pinpoint scope gaps, ambiguities, and contradictions ranked by risk to delivery.
In / outKickoff notes + SOW + delivery plan → ranked gap and misalignment list (scope, objectives, deliverable definitions, timeline, stakeholder access)
You might say…
“The kickoff told us the client's mental model of the project is not the same as the SOW — I need those gaps named and ranked before delivery starts.”
What it does
Compares what the client expressed at kickoff against the SOW and delivery plan to pinpoint gaps, ambiguities, and contradictions on scope, objectives, deliverable definitions, timeline, or stakeholder access — ranking them by risk to delivery. Used to know exactly which misalignments need closing and in what order.
Trigger: Use after the kickoff session, before delivery ramps up, to identify which misalignments pose the highest risk and need to be closed first.
