The success of a project hinges a lot on how it begins, and the project manager is responsible for facilitating successful meetings throughout the project lifecycle. The interviewer will want to hear that you can prepare a solid agenda. Depending on the industry and project goals, kickoffs generally cover an introduction, a high-level discussion of project logistics, and measures of success such as target metrics. Further, you should consider adding key takeaways as the final part of the meeting. For extra points, you may want to describe a positive tone and atmosphere when facilitating the meeting.

"One of my most successful kickoffs was for a website development project. The agenda had three parts: team member introductions, project discussion, and action items. First, I introduced the clients and team members to each other to establish rapport, and to keep everyone aware of each other's responsibilities. The second part was the longest: we had a high-level discussion about the project scope timeline and specific goals for the website. We also talked about possible risks. Towards the end, I also managed expectations around project meetings, and how project milestones will be tracked. Lastly, I listed action items with their corresponding owners and turnaround times. I made sure to keep the discussion at a high level and saved the deep-diving for later."
