While a wide range of project and quality management tools and templates exist, little is available in the current literature and practice to assist leaders in selecting projects.

The template aligns with vocabulary and techniques from project and quality management, making the project ?kick-off? more successful. Moreover, this low- tech solution is easily understood and used by most from novices to experts in project management.
