Creating a cross-border project kickoff checklist

A kickoff should make responsibilities and working assumptions explicit before delivery accelerates. Resolve practical ambiguity early.

A practical starting point

Work through these checks in order. Use the results to decide what needs to change in your own workflow.

  1. Confirm stakeholders, time zones and decision rights.
  2. Agree access, milestones, acceptance and escalation.
  3. Record commercial and data-handling questions for the responsible specialists.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

A shared definition of done prevents one team treating a demo as acceptance while another expects production readiness.

A mistake to avoid

Do not leave ownership of approvals and dependencies implicit.
