Description

This fully editable slide empowers project managers to structure a comprehensive kickoff meeting communication plan. Organized as a five-column grid, it outlines “Communicate What,” “Purpose,” “Frequency/Duration,” “Communicate To” (Team & Stakeholders), and “Communication Method,” enabling you to map out each message, its objective, cadence, and delivery channel in one clear view. The alternating blue and teal header banners feature intuitive icons—team, target, signal, speech bubble, and method—while the clean, light-gray body rows support quick data entry and readability. Built on master slides with customizable shapes and text placeholders, you can easily adjust colors, swap icons, or extend rows to fit your agenda. The flat, simple design with subtle dividing lines ensures your communication strategy stands out without distracting from content.

Who is it for

Project managers, program leads, and PMO teams will benefit most from this slide when planning stakeholder engagement, aligning cross-functional members, or establishing reporting rhythms. Scrum masters and product owners can also leverage it to kick off agile initiatives and ensure all participants understand the what, why, and how of project communications.

Other Uses

Beyond a kickoff meeting, repurpose this layout for weekly status updates, stakeholder newsletters, or change-management plans. Use the five-column format to document risk communication, training schedules, vendor deliverables, or department-wide announcements. Simply relabel headers and add custom icons to transform this versatile slide into a dynamic roadmap, governance tracker, or performance dashboard.
