This consequence is associated more closely with another project situation: A project kickoff is treated as a general product demo and no one confirms scope or escalation routes. That other situation calls for: Conduct a kickoff that confirms objectives, ownership, stakeholders, communications and immediate next steps. The case being assessed has the more direct exposure: Multiple teams may each assume another party is accountable for acceptance.

This consequence is associated more closely with another project situation: A project team copies document folders from an earlier initiative without evaluating contractual records retention.

This alternative serves another IT project context: A newly approved project lacks a documented way for remote teams to share decisions and critical releases.
