Intranet Rollout Project Checklist
This is a practical guide to building a project checklist for an intranet rollout project — a step-by-step checklist covering the project from start to finish, adapted to the realities of launching a company intranet or digital workplace.
What a Project Checklist is
A project checklist is a step-by-step checklist covering the project from start to finish. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Project Management Checklist. On an intranet rollout project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Intranet Rollout project
Intranet Rollout projects live or die on launching a company intranet or digital workplace. A well-built project checklist gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how intranet rollout projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Initiation checks
- Planning checks
- Execution checks
- Closure checks
Intranet Rollout-specific considerations
Tailor the project checklist to the risks that most often derail intranet rollout projects:
- Content ownership
- Adoption
- Search and information architecture
Example
On a real intranet rollout project, the project checklist would be shaped by launching a company intranet or digital workplace. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — content ownership, adoption, search and information architecture — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
