What is Project Kickoff Meeting?
Project Kickoff Meeting is the first official meeting that marks the start of a project, bringing together the project team, and, in some cases, clients and stakeholders, to establish its purpose, scope, and direction. Typically hosted by the project manager after the project contract, statement of work, budget, and timelines are approved, the kickoff meeting serves to introduce participants, share essential project information, clarify roles and responsibilities, and align everyone on the project’s goals. Whether formal or informal, its purpose is to create clarity, encourage collaboration, and set a strong foundation for successful execution.
