Project kickoff meeting notes
A kickoff sets the scope, the sign-off and the first deadlines. When it isn’t written down, “payments were out of scope” becomes a disagreement in month three, with nothing to point to.
- Scope written downIn and out of scope are recorded as decisions with the line they came from.
- First tasks, ownedAccess requests, wireframes and environments come out as tasks with owners and dates.
- One place for the projectPut the kickoff and every meeting after it in one Space, and see what’s at risk.

Questions
What should a kickoff meeting cover?
The goal, what’s in and out of scope, who signs off, the first milestone, the first tasks and the main risks.
Does a bot join the call?
No. Nothing of Scripta’s joins your call. You record from your browser, or bring the transcript your call tool or recorder already makes.
Can the client see the kickoff notes?
Yes, with a share link. They need no account.
Does Scripta connect to our project tool?
No. Copy tasks across, or export them as CSV.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and includes AI write-ups and recording minutes every month. Paid plans add more of both, and seats for a team.
