Project Executing Process - Kick-off Meeting (#11 in the Hut A Quick Guide to Project Management)
By Manjeet Singh
Time for action now! You will now hold a formal kick-of meeting to start the execution phase of your project during which you will direct your team’s activities in order to produce the agreed upon deliverables as detailed in the project plan. Here is an agenda that you can use for your kick-off meeting:
- Introductions
- Project objectives
- Project planning
- Risks involved and how to avoid them
- Stakeholders
- Project organization
- Roles & responsibilities of stakeholders
- Questions & answers
- Next steps
After the end of the meeting, write a kick-off meeting report and send it to all the stakeholders. Do this as soon as possible – best is to send this report the next day or at the latest 48 hours after the meeting.
TIP: Throughout the project always send out reports after each meeting. All of these reports along with the project documentation should be put in a centralized location accessible to the stakeholders.
