Hello all,
I am new to project management and I work for a company without PM experience. I have been tasked with creating a project management process/SOP for the company and while I have the writen portion almost complete I am stuck on what elements to include as must haves for every project e.g. project charter, risk assesment etc... Can anyone help me identify what the most basic of projects should/must include please? Saving Changes...

Hi Erik,
My first question would be what type of projects are you working on? (IT vs business vs structural, etc). That will drive some of the 'must haves'. But beyond the details, I would vote for a Project Charter, Scope Mgmt Plan, Schedule, RACI matrix, along with company expectations for document mgmt, meetings, reports and contract managment. Best of luck! Saving Changes...

Thank you all for the many responses. I was hoping for a simple answer such as here are the items which must be included with all non-design control projects however I am quickly realizing that a one size fits all approach will not be likely. What I am really looking for is a simple platform from which to start but with the multitides of templates out there it is becoming overwhelming. Also, I have the PMBOK however this does not step one through the basiscs of project management. More and more I am realizing that I may have to look for outside help as I am in over my head a tad bit. Saving Changes...
