🚀 Project Kickoff Meeting Agenda Template
A 90-minute kickoff agenda that gets goals, scope, roles, and first-week actions agreed in one sitting — including the "not yet" list, which is the part of scope that prevents the most arguments later.
| Time | Item | Owner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 PM | Welcome + introductions | Sponsor | Name, role, one thing you need from this project |
| 1:10 PM | Why this project — goals and success metrics | Sponsor | The three numbers we'll be measured on |
| 1:25 PM | Scope: in / out / not yet | Project manager | The "not yet" list matters most |
| 1:45 PM | Timeline + milestones | Project manager | Dates are targets until the plan is baselined |
| 2:00 PM | Roles + decision rights | Project manager | Who decides what — RACI on screen |
| 2:10 PM | Risks we already know about | All | Top three only |
| 2:20 PM | Ways of working: cadence, tools, channels | Project manager | Standup time, where the files live |
| 2:25 PM | Next steps + first-week actions | Project manager | Owners named before we leave |
| 2:30 PM | Close |
