    Overview

    About the project kickoff template

    A project that starts without a kickoff drifts. Setting the scope, the owners, and the milestones up front means the team pulls in the same direction from the first task.

    This template is the built-in Project kickoff workflow pack in Atlas. Applying it fans out the kickoff tasks: drafting the brief, identifying stakeholders, setting milestones, scheduling the kickoff, and publishing the recap.

    Because the pack creates real tasks, the kickoff is tracked work rather than a checklist someone tries to remember.
