Project kickoff

Align a project in six slides: why now, the goal, scope, timeline and working agreements.

Cover

Speaker notes

Name the project, the date and the outcome. Replace Lantern with the real name and keep the subtitle to what will be different when it ships.

Why now

Speaker notes

The evidence for doing this now, then one verbatim customer line. The quote panel is intentionally small: it is a nudge, not the argument.

The goal

Speaker notes

One measurable goal, three ways to know it worked. If you cannot measure it by the ship date, pick a different goal.

Scope

Speaker notes

Make the boundary explicit. The right-hand card matters as much as the left: it is the permission the team needs to say no.

Timeline

Speaker notes

Three phases with a checkpoint each. Dates are the ship date and the demo dates, not optimistic wishes.

Working agreement

Speaker notes

The behaviours that keep the project calm. Keep four; more than that and nobody remembers them.
