2. Why should you hold a project kickoff meeting?
As a project manager, you don’t need to map out a plan thoroughly, such as the specific tasks at the kickoff meeting. Instead, it would be best to get everybody clear on the broad picture of the project beforehand so that every member and stakeholder understand their roles and what they can expect from the project at the end.
