Checklists for SMEs: Structured Launch and Secure Implementation of Digital Projects
Why do I need a checklist before starting a digital project?
Catch errors before launch – not after
The most expensive mistakes happen during the planning phase. If you only realize after the CRM launch that the requirements were not clarified, you'll pay double. A checklist protects you – before the project begins.
Clear checklist for each project phase
Every digital project has critical phases: requirements gathering, tool selection, system configuration, go-live. Our checklists cover each of these phases – concise, easy to understand, and ready to use.
Simplify team collaboration
Checklists are not just individual tools. Go through them with your team. Every open item is a risk factor that should be clarified together – before it becomes a problem.
Our Checklists at a Glance

Check if the necessary foundations are in place: functional landing pages, correct tracking, realistic budget, clear goal definition. Only when this checklist is green is it worth starting.
How to Use Checklists Correctly
Review before, not after, project launch
Ideally, use the checklist before the official project start. Go through it together with your team. Every point that cannot be answered is a risk factor that should be addressed now.
Prioritize open issues
Not every open item blocks the launch. But you should know which risks you are consciously taking – and which ones need to be closed first. The checklist gives you this clarity.
Document result
Document the results of your checklist review in writing. This creates clarity within the team, serves as a project basis, and enables a clean retrospective later on: What did we learn?
From download to implementation: When is professional support worthwhile?
