Here is what Gary has to say about the episode: You cannot underestimate the importance of the Project Kickoff. It sets the tone for the rest of the project, and it is often the first time all of the key players on the Project will be face to face. In some cases, it may be the only time they all get together - so make it count! It may also be the first time that you get to review the project objectives as a team, and it is where you will build the collective understanding of what you are trying to achieve - and the first stage in Project Team Development. But what exactly is a Project Kickoff, and why do we really need it? In this session we will explore what it is - and why it is so important.
