– problems are not discussed openly
meetings are boring decisions are made
formally
2. FEAR OF CONFLICT

How to conduct a kick-off meeting correctly?
A kick-off meeting is a starting meeting before the launch of a project. Such meetings help introduce team members, outline goals, and make cooperation transparent. Of course, provided that the meeting is conducted correctly.
The goals of holding a kick-off:
Introduce project participants and assess the balance of power in the team.
Discuss key issues regarding the project.
Make sure that everyone understands the goals of the project and
their role.
Additionally motivate and inspire before the launch.
Create the right expectations.
Establish work rules.
In order for the kick-off meeting to go well, it is advisable to follow a few simple rules.
Rule 1. Plan the kick-off well.
It is necessary to think through the structure, content of the meeting, plan everything in advance and send out invitations.
Rule 2. It is better not to start the meeting too formally.
Before the formality, an «icebreaker» is used – a joke, a short story, a question – anything so that before the meeting everyone does not sit with an overly serious look and does not phub.
Rule 3. Inform in advance.
So that it does not turn out that people from the working group find out about the very existence of the project only at the kick-off – this is too sudden stress.
Rule 4. No need to go into details!
For this, there will be a whole long project, and now, the more details the more questions, and this is not needed at the kick-off. If necessary, «park» the question for further discussion after the meeting.
But the question remains open, how should a good kick-off meeting be conducted? Does it have a certain structure?
In order to be able to plan the perfect kick-off, it is suggested to use the following plan:
1. Introduction
You need to introduce yourself and ask the participants to do the same. This is especially important when they are not familiar with each other.
2. Meeting agenda
It is necessary to determine from the very beginning in what order the project will be discussed, when to ask questions, etc. Meetings of this type are not a monologue. The entire team needs to participate.
152
3. The essence of the project and the goals of the team
Do not forget that the meeting brings together specialists from different fields. It is necessary to indicate the general goals and, if possible, clarify them by field for each group of participants or individual participants. Describe what result is expected.
4. Description of the project stages
The project is divided into stages, specifying the result of each and the deadline. It is worth making sure that nothing is missed.
5. The role and responsibility of each
One of the main goals of the kick-off meeting is to explain in detail who does what, what groups the participants are united in and how they work with each other. It is also important to make a list of contacts for each participant. The terms of communication are clarified.
6. Project monitoring
The team needs to be told how the project will be monitored. It is best to conduct regular updates on the progress of the project once a week and always in writing.
Such a report may contain the following items:
project implementation status in percentage;
adherence to the work schedule (for example, using colors: green –
excellent, orange – there are issues for discussion, red – the deadline has been missed, it is necessary to review the order of work on the project);
budget compliance status (the same three colors);
state of satisfaction in the team (similarly); state of satisfaction in the
team (similarly);
a brief summary of what was done, the result of the work;
issues awaiting resolution;
risks – what, in the opinion of the specialist, can go wrong.
7. Evaluation of work results
At the kick-off meeting, it is determined how the work will be assessed, whether it has been done and how well. Should the participants meet the deadlines? Within the budget? Agree everything within the team as quickly as possible? Use new methods or technologies? Make the least number of mistakes?
8. Planning the next meetings
The schedule of the next meetings should be agreed upon. This will once again remind the participants of the deadlines and the amount of work that they must submit on time.
In such cases, interactive methods are used:
Short videos or presentations about the project and the team.
Flipchart to visualize the idea while answering questions. This involves
the entire team.

Types of conflict and ways to resolve them are given in Table 9.6.
Type of conflict
How it manifests itself
What will help
Conflict over resources (material, time, financial)
Such conflicts arise at the point of contact of interests. Lack of material and financial resources leads to clashes and struggle for them.
– Transparency of calculation of needs. – Optimization and collaboration. – Win-win strategy (the interests of not one, leading party, but all partners are put at the forefront). – Appeal to sponsors to find additional resources within the project triangle.
Conflict of roles
For example, the Motivator offends and provokes others, the Pedant strictly and persistently demands ideal quality, the Idea Generator is inattentive to details and does not pay attention to the ideas of others.
– Introduction of a culture of constructive feedback in the team.
Conducting retrospectives. The presence of a facilitator
at meetings – Open distribution of roles and their periodic update, paying special attention to the goals and main tasks of each role.
Conflict of motives
Usually arises at the goal­setting stage. In a team, it sounds like this: «We are like-minded, but we are different, and when drawing an image of the desired future, we place accents differently».
Team goal-setting procedures (will allow you to expand and detail the image of the future, increase the attractiveness of the common goal).
Conflict of the mode of action
The presence of such conflicts characterizes the Normation stage. They are not usually emotional in nature, but develop exclusively as substantive. Team members discuss the best course of action.
Development of rules, norms, standards and procedures.
Interpersonal conflict
Confrontation between two people, their confrontation due to disagreements and differences in views.
Resolution of conflicts according to the following algorithm:
1. Determine the cause and essence of the problem.
2. Talk to everyone affected by the conflict, discuss opinions.

3. Find out the desires and interests of the participants.
4. Find all possible solutions, trying not to refuse other offers and highlight the best options.
Generation conflict
Disagreements between representatives of different age groups. As a rule, the reason lies in the fact that older employees are attached to the company and cling to their experience, ignoring the need for change. Young professionals value a personal approach to motivation, recognition of their contribution, development and personal time. Moreover, they love everything new, and are happy to take risks.
– Creating and maintaining a culture based on respect for each other, the ability to see the positive side, tolerance for difficult character traits, and the ability to consciously smooth out tense situations. – Communicating the company's corporate values to each new employee. – Holding corporate events that will increase the loyalty of young employees and unite the team.
Holding informal events to «get to know» each other. Accepting different values
of generations, finding common ground between them.
interested people who know their business and are ready to work productively to achieve the project goals is assembled. And it seems that success is guaranteed, but in reality everything turns out to be much more complicated.

to make this product in 3 years»! Life changes very quickly, and in 3 years the results of this project may lose their relevance.
Lack of resources or struggle for resources (material and human). Incorrect planning. Errors in the stages of implementation. Incorrectly determined the stages of project implementation or placed
erroneous assumptions in the basis of the plan.
Incorrect risk assessment.
Let's say we foresaw these six reasons and assessed everything adequately. There are defined requirements, there are clear and realistic deadlines, there are the necessary resources, the risks are correctly identified. Then the project will be successful? Unfortunately, this is not a fact, since there are still implicit reasons why the project may fail.
Implicit reasons:
Low customer involvement
The customer came up with an idea, the project started, and during its implementation, they lost interest in this idea. Or they simply thought at the start that all that is required of the customer is to give an idea and protect it, and then the project team will do everything itself.
Lack of support from the sponsor
The project team did everything perfectly, but the sponsor decided that this idea is not worthy of further support. Or the sponsor is not actively involved in supporting this idea, does not lobby for decisions on the implementation of the project or the allocation of resources for it.
Lack of flexibility
You made a plan at the start, the project lasts for six months, and during the entire six months you strictly adhere to the plan and decisions that were made at the beginning. In modern practice, it is impossible to implement projects like this. It is important and necessary to make changes at almost every stage of the project implementation, since as you move from stage to stage, new factors, risks and needs will be revealed that were not obvious at the start.
Thus, there are nine reasons that can lead to a project failure if they are not taken into account at the start. These are formal requirements, deadlines, risks, distribution of roles and responsibilities, involvement of the sponsor and customer, flexibility of planning. In order not to miss any of this, it is important to know all the stages of the project life and understand at what stages it is necessary to take these factors into account and check the team to see if all the reasons have been taken into account.
