“Well begun is half done”
— Aristotle (or Mary Poppins, depending who you ask)
The beginning of a project is a time when all stakeholders THINK they know what they want, and maybe the team thinks they know what they are supposed to do. Or maybe they are just wondering, “what the heck is this new madness that I’m getting drug into?!”
Regardless, it’s a near certainty that your team, your stakeholders and your sponsors - someone is NOT on the same page. And if you launch your project with that misalignment, you are lighting the fuse on project troubles.
Enter the Kickoff meeting, one of the goals of which is to try to bring everyone’s expectations of the project into alignment.
Join Kate and Kim as they talk about how to approach this most critical meeting, and ensure your project is off on the right step. Be the Aristotle (or Mary Poppins) of your project!
🎯 What you’ll learn in this episode:
-
How to structure your kickoff meeting
-
Key questions to ask your stakeholders
-
Tips for getting your team engaged from the start
-
How to align goals, roles, and expectations
