1. GET EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH A PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING
Sometimes projects don’t always go through an organizedsequence of planning and execution. On many projects, you’re forced to jump into execution and then catch up with the planning later. Before you know it, you find that team members and stakeholders have varying levels of understanding about the purpose and status of the project. Regardless of how you start your project, you should always hold a project kickoff. The purpose of the kickoff meeting is toformally notify all team members, clients, and stakeholders that the project has begun and make sure everyone has a common understanding of the project and their roles. Like all formal meetings, there should be an agenda. There are a number of specific things you want to do at this meeting: Introduce the people at the meeting. Recap the information in the Project Charter, including the purpose ofthe project, the scope, the major deliverables, the risks, the assumptions, the estimated effort and budget, and the deadline. Discuss the important roles and responsibilities of the project team, clients and stakeholders. Many, if not all, of the people that will work on the project should be in attendance. If there’s confusion about the role of any person or organization, I you should discussand clarify it here. Go over the general approach and timeline of the project. This gives people a sense for how the project will unfold. In particular, you will want to ensure that people understand what they need to be doing in the short-term to support the project. Discuss the project management procedures. It’s important for everyone to understand how the project manager will manage schedule,issues, scope, risk, etc., since many people play a role in these procedures. For example, you need a process to surface scope change requests, determine their impact, and bring them forward for approval. You don’t want to fight with people about how the process works after the project has started. The kickoff meeting is the time to make sure every understands and agrees to the proposed projectmanagement procedures. Discuss and answer any outstanding questions. The purpose of the discussion is not to rehash the purpose of the project, but to allow people to voice specific questions or concerns they have as the project begins. Confirm that the project is now underway.

2. CONSOLIDATE ALL PROJECT MANAGEMENT DELIVERABLES IN THE PROJECT PLAN
Takeaway: A project plan is not the project schedule or workplan. It's the name given to all of the project management documents used during the project. Many people use the term "project plan" to mean the project schedule(or workplan). However, the project plan is actually the name given to all of the project management documents used during the project. This term actually made more sense in years past when you could envision a physical binder that contained hard copies of the project management deliverables. The term has less meaning today when all of your documents are stored online and many of them may never beactually printed. The project plan could be the name of the online folder that houses all of these documents. The project plan specifically includes: Project Charter (Project Scope Statement). This is the document that describes the project objectives, scope, estimated costs, estimated duration, deliverables, risks, assumptions, project organization, etc. Project Management Procedures.
