Kick-start to a Great Project Kick-off

We’ve all heard the importance of starting off on the right foot and making a good first impression.  The same holds true for our projects.  Hence a project kick-off.  A project kick-off is a chance to level set and get your stakeholders on the same page. 

In this session, participants will:

• Discuss the purpose and value of a project kick-off
• Identify ways to facilitate a kick-off conversation
• List the key elements of an effective project kick-off

Bonus Handout: Participant Resource Guide

Hot Tip: Start the conversation. Have a kick-off conversation before the actual kick-off of your project.  Especially if you need people for their skills and knowledge.  Get on their calendar or stop by their desk to let them know about your assignment and potential ask of their time and knowledge.
