3 Can you do this project?
{name}
A project has external dependencies. That is, inputs from outside the project environment. Those inputs can be resources (money, people and things) and approvals or endorsements. This is a normal part of projects and you will have to manage them closely. However, you must be confident that you can get what you need. If you can't, your project will fail. This is a good time, before you go too far, to list those external dependencies and check that you are confident that you will be able to get those inputs. List them here.
