Meetings

Project Managers use “meetings” as an effective tool and technique to accomplish various objectives for their projects. During initiation, project managers may use meetings to help identify project objectives, constraints, assumptions, high-level risks, and key stakeholders. While directing and managing projects, they may call meetings to gain an understanding of the status of open items or simply provide progress reports on overall performance. They may also call discuss needs for changes and change requests, which are then passed to the ‘Perform Integrated Change Control’ process. Meetings generally are utilized throughout the project management lifecycle to help accomplish various objectives depending on the context provided.
