Overview
About the Project Kickoff Review™
- Purpose
- Misalignment created at kickoff is carried into every later phase. This review measures whether the kickoff communication gave the team what it needs to begin correctly — before work, cost, and rework accumulate.
- Why it matters
- A kickoff is the cheapest point at which to correct a misunderstanding. Gaps in purpose, ownership, or early decisions become schedule and budget problems later.
- Who it is for
- Project managers, sponsors, and delivery leads starting new work.
- What it evaluates
- Purpose and scope, roles, first actions, early decisions, and tone.
Example inputs
- Kickoff meeting notes or minutes
- A kickoff email or announcement

Example outputs

- A 0 / 1 / 3 / 5 assessment of each of the Five Signals, with written justification
