Q: Let’s say you are the project manager overseeing the kick-off meeting. You provide examples of tasks that you believe are part of the project and ones that you believe are not throughout the meeting. Which piece of the agenda is this?
- Roles
- Background
- Questions
- Goals and scope
Explanation: It seems as if you’re getting into the “Defining Scope” zone now. At the beginning of a project, it is essential to have a meeting called the kick-off meeting in which boundaries are established and it is made very clear what aspects of the project come within the scope and what aspects do not. Everyone has to be aware of the location of the X before the treasure hunt can begin. This is analogous to sketching the treasure map before the search starts.
