At PHPro, we have a proven project approach that we use for every project. In this series, we look at all parts of this PHPro roadmap.
Every PHPro project starts with a kick-off meeting with the client, where specific agreements are made about how the project will be set up. Drawing up a plan, making agreements around meetings and exchanging project documentation are crucial for long-term cooperation. The foundation is laid in this meeting. If we add our analogy with The Tree of PHPro, here we have started with the roots. The result of the kick-off ensures that our project is firmly planted (and planned). It provides stability and certainty in the next phases of the collaboration. Since the main stakeholders are present along PHPro's side and the client's side, everyone is on the same wavelength and we underpin open communication. Thus, the ideal starting point for the success of the project.
The result of the Kick-off
It is hugely important that all workshops, meetings and goals are recorded in advance so that this is clear to all parties involved and can also be scheduled into the agenda in a timely manner. At a kick-off you are at the beginning of your project and so you want to discuss and record a number of things, you also want to make sure that all stakeholders are facing the same direction. The result of a kick-off meeting with PHPro should therefore be:
You get a high-level schedule, looking at timing, roles and deliverables. In doing so, everyone looks at the risks and constraints that may come up with the project.
After the kick-off, we move on to the workshops!
