What is a kick off meeting? A kick off meeting is the first meeting you have as a project team. In reality, you might have an internal kick off meeting for just your in-house team resources, and then another one with the client, when you are ready to share project information with them (and if you have a client). If your project is in-house and you aren’t serving an external client, you will only need one.

Teams have always needed to track activity and how to work together toward unified goals. The tools people prefer to use have always been the catalyst for change.
