Agenda

A meeting agenda helps you and your colleagues prepare for a meeting and guide yourselves through the items you need to discuss. Time spent in planning an agenda will likely save time for all meeting participants by providing a clear set of topics, objectives, and time frames.

Small Talk

Whether you are holding the meeting or attending the meeting, it is polite to make small talk while you wait for the meeting to start. You should discuss things unrelated to the meeting, the meeting, such as weather, family, or weekend plans.

Welcome

Once everyone has arrived, the sponsor, should formally welcome everyone to the meeting and thank the attendees for coming.

Project Goals

 The project goal refers to the desired outcome of a project. The Project Manager will explain the project goals. They are high-level statements that give the project team an overall context of what the project will accomplish. Now, there could be different types of goal setting like performance goals, time goals, and resource goal.

Project Scope

Project scope, explained by the Project Manager, is the part of project planning that involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, tasks, costs and deadlines. The documentation of a project’s scope is called a scope statement or terms of reference. It explains the boundaries of the project, establishes responsibilities for each team member, and sets up procedures for how completed work will be verified and approved.

Project Approach

The Project Manager will explain the project approach that involves the selection of project management practices, means, and methods that the project management team should perform based on the specific, high-level project characteristics gathered from the project charter.
