The Kick-Off (K/O) Meeting is the first meeting with the project team and client of the project including the high-level project stakeholders such as the project sponsor, management, and project manager, as well as the key team members. The K/O Meeting provides the interested parties to discuss a plan or strategy and other base elements in the project (e.g., schedule, specifications, status reporting, etc.) before commencing the project. This meeting introduces the members of the project and provides a project manager the opportunity to define the common goal and the purpose of completing the project and as well build a consensus.
