Project Kick-Starts
What is a Project Kick-Start?
Projects run in the traditional manner can take weeks and even months to get off the ground. This time is generally wasted in set up and scoping activities, in particular gathering views from different people.
A Project Kick-Start involves getting everyone involved in a room together, typically for ½ a day to 1 day depending on the size and complexity of the project. Typical numbers on a Project Kick-Start are 10-25 but could be lower or higher. Typical attendees are the Champion, Project Leader, Team members, Key Players, front-line staff and any others as appropriate.
A Project Kick-Start accomplishes a lot of work, saves time and has many spin-off benefits.
When to have a Project Kick-Start
| • | For any large or complex project |
| • | For mission-critical projects |
| • | When a lot of people need to be involved |
The principles and benefits of kick-starting
| • | Obtain a wide range of involvement |
| • | Use a structured approach and tools and techniques to ensure balanced participation |
| • | Saves time |
| • | Gets 'buy in' and alignment from all involved |
| • | Scoping and initial planning carried out quickly, efficiently and participatively |
Typical contents of a Project Kick-Start

| • | Briefing about and clarification of the remit |
| • | Briefing Sessions by key individuals |
| • | Project scoping |
| • | Identification of actions, by who, by when |
| • | Identification of possible problems and obstacles |
