The steps are: 1) defining the project focus, goals, and location; 2) conducting research; 3) setting quantifiable and time-bound goals; 4) developing a strategy, tactics, and timeline; 5) assigning roles and responsibilities; 6) establishing communications; and 7) regularly checking in with the team, recognizing accomplishments, and celebrating successes.
