When to use it.
Client Kickoff Workshop is a whiteboard for agencies, studios and freelancers to run live in the first meeting with a new client. Six panels ask the questions every project needs answered up front: the goals, the audience, what's in scope, what's left out, the risks and the open questions. A row of next steps with owners and dates closes the session, so everyone leaves knowing what happens on Monday.
Made for
- Agencies running discovery and kickoff sessions
- Consultants and strategists
- Team leads running retrospectives
