How to Run an Effective Project Kickoff Meeting | Coffee with Brett

What is the difference between SPC (Statistical Process Control) and the Gantt?

Very Helpful Sr. thank You

👍

Well done!

Being a professional, I don't hold 'kick-off' meetings, like a project is some moronic soccer game. I have commencement/start-up/initial/inaugural meetings. I know, big words frighten people, but it ain't a kick-off as though one side wins and the other looses, and you are expected to score goals to the disadvantage of the others.

Would love a video about the games and alignment exercises you mentioned!

Great comments. Thank you much

at the onset of each project we always run a scoping meeting for 1.5 to 2 hours with each of our customers that includes your suggestions and addresses alignment. We're currently revamping and making a concerted effort to provide each customer with a standardized project experience. we have many repeat customers and we've used their feedback to create this standardized way based upon what most of them have liked and what they found valuable. We've also tried to separate the teaching and training around project management to our customers and actually delivering the project with a team. As PMs we are the process experts, and understand that our customers are the content experts. We're trying to use this for the customers advantage by making our standardized process much more efficient, quick and valuable. There are still teaching moments in our projects, but we've tried to keep processed jargon acronyms and other things at a minimum, sort of like pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. However as you described with the kickoff meaning, what we call a scoping meeting we stay very technical at that point to define the boundaries seek out the scope and set the goals
