4. Precautions:

(1) Stakeholders have been identified prior to the meeting, and stakeholder registries and stakeholder management strategies have been established.

At this time, stakeholders should be informed and meet, so that the customer leadership to express the determination of information-driven, to the project manager and the project team members to authorize, mobilize the enthusiasm of the staff, so that customers from the top to release into a consensus, for the project team to carry out the relevant work to remove obstacles in the future.

(2) Initial planning and identification of risk (risk category) has taken place at the start-up meeting;

(3) The Project manager will report the project plan to the relevant stakeholder, but the plan at this time is a very sketchy plan and cannot be used to guide project execution.

The project management plan used to guide the execution of the project requires a progressive breakdown of the rolling plan, and a real project management plan can be achieved by developing a project management planning process Group.

Ii. Project commencement meeting (kick-off meeting)
