Initial checklist – Green infrastructure project management.
Evaluate whether your municipality has the necessary capacity to manage and coordinate green infrastructure projects from start to finish.
How to read it: Mark ✔ only if you have it implemented regularly, with verifiable results, not just as a good intention.
How to interpret the results?
Warning sign: If 5 or more boxes remain unchecked, your municipality is managing green infrastructure projects with a fragile model that generates delays, cost overruns, and last-minute justifications.
What usually happens: Projects take longer than planned, only a portion of what was approved is executed, and teams end up overwhelmed, with incomplete reports and the risk of returning European funds.
The reality: Even small municipalities can successfully manage complex projects if they organize clear committees, realistic timelines, and orderly tracking of tasks and documentation using standard tools.

Green infrastructure project management checklist
The urban green infrastructure requires a project management structured, from planning to execution and maintenance. This initial checklist allows any municipality to quickly assess whether it has the necessary processes and resources to effectively manage green projects, aligning with recognized methodologies such as those of Project Management Institute (PMI) for the management of complex initiatives.
Through simple questions, aspects such as the existence of prior planning, coordination between municipal departments, and the capacity to monitor works and actions are assessed. The result provides a clear snapshot of the starting point and helps identify gaps that may delay the implementation of strategic projects, while also incorporating best practices in project management endorsed by the Spanish Association of Integrated Project Management (AEDIP).
Furthermore, this tool serves as a practical guide for municipal technicians and managers who need to assess their preparedness without spending weeks on complex audits. It allows them to compare their current situation with basic management standards, identify bottlenecks in implementation, and focus their efforts on priority actions. In this way, not only is internal efficiency strengthened, but the capacity to secure funding and justify projects to other government bodies is also enhanced.
Having a self-assessment system like this is key to moving from idea to action. It facilitates prioritizing interventions, strengthens coordination, and ensures that each project has clearly defined responsibilities, realistic timelines, and monitoring mechanisms. This is an essential step for green infrastructure to deliver tangible benefits in sustainability, urban resilience, and quality of life.
