- Meetings are used to discuss important parts of the project
- Three types of meetings
- Information Exchange
- Brainstorming/Option/Evaluation/Design
- Decision Making
- You shouldn’t mix meeting types
- Prepare a well-defined agenda, purpose, objective, and time frame before the meeting; otherwise, the meeting will go off track
- Store meeting minutes in the project documentation
- Meetings are most effective face-to-face, but other methods are possible when team members are long distances from each other
- Meetings are used by the Change Control Board to review/approve/reject change requests; these are called Change Control Meetings
- Meetings are also used to conduct risk management
- Once the project plan is complete, and the team is ready to start executing the project, they will hold a Project Kick-Off Meeting
- With a small team that handles both planning and execution, the Kick-Off Meeting will take place in the Planning Process Group
- If the team is large, they may have a small team to handle planning, and then hire a larger project team to handle execution. In this case, the Kick-Off Meeting will take place in the Executing Process Group
- If the project has multiple phases, the Kick-Off Meeting will take place at the beginning of each phase
- In Agile planning, we hold a meeting on the first day of the Iteration
- The product owner, Scrum team, and project manager attend
- In the iteration meeting, we break down the tasks on the product backlog and estimate the duration of each task
- The meeting results in an iteration backlog, and assumptions, risks, and dependencies
